Day Job Studio collaborates on publications, murals, workshops, moving image and installations. We work with a range of media including print, textiles, ceramics, and moving image, all with an ethos of playfulness and a desire to encourage abstract thinking.

Day Job was founded in 2012 by 10 graduates from Camberwell College of Art: Joshua Checkley, Daniel Clarke, Grace Helmer, Katie Johnston, Charlene Man, Charlotte Mei, Ella McLean, Peter Rhodes, Victoria Willmott and Aaron ZIggy.

We have worked on a variety of projects for clients such as Somerset House, the V&A, Vitamin Water, Peckham Space, The Loop and Camberwell Press.

I think this collective is really exciting, they host exhibitions showing their individual work surrounded by a theme as well as creating zines and work for live briefs that incorporate the collective works together. I think working in a collective allows strength in numbers and starting out after university as a group means that as individuals you can be more confident in approaching gallery spaces and possible employers knowing that x many heads are better than one.

I think I would like to pitch a collective to create work for an exhibition as it means individually we can show already existing work and take the pressure off possibly creating a new work for a publication as this part of the year is so busy with other deadlines. It'll just be a case of finding an over arching theme that brings my work and other peoples work together.
