March 3, 2025 at 7:00 PM: David Day will give a presentation entitled “ICM in the Studio…..A Different Approach to Creating Abstract Images”
David Day resides in Flat Rock, NC. His interest in fine art monochrome and infrared photography began in Connecticut during the 1990’s. During that time, he utilized traditional photographic and darkroom techniques to produce New England themed images such as light houses and revolution era landmarks.
After moving to North Carolina in 2014, David took several years off from exhibiting his work to focus on developing a new form of abstract photography. From a happy accident that occurred one afternoon in his studio, he found that application of intentional camera movement techniques to simple still-life subjects such as string, wire, leaves, weeds, and tissue paper produced abstract images that were completely different from images produced by other ICM photographers.
His early ICM experiments resulted in new techniques and images that have earned a variety of innovation and recognition awards including ‘Artist of the Year’ at the Northern Light Gallery in Albuquerque, NM. His work has also been featured in several local and regional magazines as well as a number of on-line exhibitions and publications.
At present, David’s focus is on production of ICM images utilizing plastic bags, tissue paper, newsprint and glass objects as subject matter. He has produced a number of YouTube videos to teach his methods to others and coordinates an on-line collective of over 3,500 members to further the development of abstract ICM-generated photography. https://ddayicmart.com/
