THE ARTIST BEHIND

Morning Altars

 

Hello! I’m Day Schildkret

I am devoted to the pursuit of impermanent beauty and how that can become nourishment for life to continue. 

As an artist, my eye is often drawn toward the fallen and my hands yearn to resurrect and redeem that which is considered valueless. This has evolved into a daily ritual of foraging local objects that the wild world has discarded to the earth; feathers, leaves, flowers, bones and how, just for a moment, the resurgence of these objects, colors, textures, shapes into a collaboration of proximity can bring forth new forms of beauty and memory. 

BuzzFeed calls Morning Altars,
“a celebration of life and nature.”
