Thompsons Station, TN
Rima Day uses thread to create artwork that is inspired by nature and the human body. She studied fashion design in her native city of Tokyo, Japan and later in New York City and worked as a custom ballet costumer in New York City and Connecticut.
While working at the costume shop in Vanderbilt University, she made 18th century dresses with used jeans as a part of upcycling projects. They were exhibited in several galleries includeing Artfield 2021, and she realized that she can use her sewing skills to create art and started exploring the possibilities.
She is currently investigating the idea that a needle and thread for her is like a pen and ink for a writer. Her fabric books are in collection at the University of Iowa, Yale University, Stanford university, Princeton University, and other institutions, as well as several private collections. She lives near Nashville, TN.
