Studio 116 is pleased to present a special exhibition of works by artist David Day from May 1–30, 2026, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Blue Ridge Humane Society.

Based in Flat Rock, David is internationally recognized for his innovative use of intentional camera movement in the studio, creating abstract images that blend motion, emotion, and texture. This exhibition will feature approximately 100 works produced over the past five years, offering a rare, expansive look at his evolving photography practice.

An opening reception will be held at Studio 116 on Friday, May 1, from 6–8pm, with remarks by David and representatives from the Blue Ridge Humane Society at 6:45pm. The reception is free and open to the public.

During this time, David will be signing of his newly released book, The Emotional Residue of Dreams, his fourth publication exploring the art and technique of intentional camera movement photography.

Artist statement:

My work explores the emotional residue of dreams-the way they linger, distort, and rearrange meaning. I recreate the visual cadence of dream states, where abrupt transitions and illogical juxtapositions evoke both wonder and unease. By inviting viewers into these fractured narratives, I aim to provoke connections that feel deeply intuitive yet intellectually dissonant echoes of the lucid dream, where clarity and chaos coexist.
