Collection: Bridgit Day

Bridgit Day is a ceramic artist currently living in Whangarei, Aotearoa New Zealand. Her work is an exploration of contemplative sculptural form, which aims to build a relationship with the viewer, telling a story or creating a space for contemplation.
'The more I make, the more I learn about my work, my practice and myself. Each piece is informed from the previous piece. The work grows, develops and changes from the work before' says Day.
The final result is important but equally is the process, the time spent making. Her hope is that the finished work establishes a rapport with the viewer. 'I'd like the work to hold you, just for a moment, long enough that you stop and pause'.
Day's work is about connections; whether it is a connection with ourselves, with the object, with nature or between the artist and the viewer.
