About The Work
In the spring of 2013, E.V. Day was invited by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to create a site specific installation at Philip Johnson’s Glass House estate in New Canaan, CT. While developing what was to become SNAP!, she was allowed to explore David Whitney’s peculiar peony garden. Says the artist, “I was immediately attracted to the humorous titles of the rare peony varietals that he maintained over the 40 years he was together with Phillip Johnson. This pair of Pillow Talk Peonies is meant to commemorate this partnership. I used the same technique of magnifying the reproductive organs I developed while using flowers from Claude Monet’s garden in my Seducer Series.”
