Brett is supporting Stop AAPI Hate. Tiny Showcase will donate 15% of our profits from this release.

“In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.”

Meet Brett Day Windham

Brett Day Windham (born Cambridge, England, raised Providence, RI) is a multidisciplinary artist working with sculpture and works on paper. She received a BFA from Hampshire College and an MFA from RISD. Windham uses color and composition to organize collections of natural, commercial and industrial remnants into multi-valent works which confer a sense of mysticism and ritual. Her ongoing series of cyanotypes are made from personal collections: flora and fauna are gathered by intuition (usually on long walks in different environments). The collections are often made on a single day, and the objects are pressed or dried as necessary, and then laid out in the sun on watercolor paper coated in cyanotype chemistry. Windham finds this ongoing series is a way to synthesize themes in her wide-ranging practice, encapsulating found-object collection, display, composition, and a love of color.

Windham's work has been included in shows at The Barnes Foundation, Smack Mellon New York, the RISD Museum, Tompkins Projects West Los Angeles, Cave Gallery Detroit, Brooklyn Fireproof, Gallery Project Michigan, Samsøn Projects Boston, University of Maine Museum of Art and more. Residencies she has been awarded include the Art/Slant Residency Paris, RISD Museum Artist-in-Residence, Select Fair Residency New York, The Chrysler Museum Glass Studio Virginia, Studios of Key West, Cascina Remondenca Italy, and Penland School North Carolina. Selected press includes V Magazine, Hyperallergic, Whitewall Magazine and The New York Times. She lives in Edgewood, Rhode Island with her family, and regularly exhibits and lectures on her work.
