Christina P. Day’s art practice recontextualizes roles related to material lifespan: designer, fabricator, owner, maintainer. Her improvisational building language stems from textile design strategy and is focused on the conversation of material as content. Her work takes form in architectural installation, surfacing methods, textile pattern logic and match finding. Day is a full-time faculty member currently serving as Area Head in the MICA Fiber department. Her teachings focus on cloth production methods, surface treatments and experimental fashion.  She is an alumna of University of the Arts (BFA Crafts ‘99) and Cranbrook Academy of Art (MFA Fiber ‘06).

Recent exhibitions and research on material history have been completed at Catskill Art Space (Livingston Manor, NY), Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (Arlington, VA), AUTOMAT (Philadelphia, PA), Fleisher Art Memorial (Philadelphia, PA), Commonweal Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), Hagley Museum and Library (Wilmington, DE), Kirkcaldy Museum (Kirkcaldy, Scotland), the General Society for Mechanics and Tradesmen (New York, NY) and Winterthur (Wilmington, DE). She maintains her home and studio practice in Philadelphia, PA.
