To help organise the two staple features of human existence, i.e. production of food and ritual, mankind has observed local natural phenomena, mainly the movement of the sun and the moon. The Shape of Time calendar series attempts to find a visual correlation between the lunar and the solar cycles. The recurring theme is the organisation of elements into a coherent whole, creating order from chaos. The final form of the artwork stands as a temporary idealised state, a perfect moment amid the swirling disorder. Born in central London in 1946, Graham Day received his MA in Fine Art from The Slade School of Art, UCL, in 1973. He lectured part time in Fine Art between 1973 and 2006. Since 1974 he has held a number of solo exhibitions in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the USA. He lives and works in London and Wiltshire.
