Kale Day lives and works in the Edison Artist Lofts as a Resident Artist with Six Mile SculptureWorks and Alfresco Productions. Hailing from rural mid-Missouri, Kale’s work inherits an interest in the ghostly from the abandoned barns and homesteads which populated the landscapes of the Midwest. Working primarily in found object assemblage and mixed media collage, and figurative cement constructions, extensie attention is given to the lives of objects, the stories found hiding between the things on a dusty shelf. In his sculpture A Beast, Slouching, scrap materials are conscripted into playing the role of a beast, a creature, approaching a foretold day of doom, as detailed in the famous William Butler Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming.
