Paint
In 2000, Corday moved her studio from Tokyo, Japan to Seville, Spain. The years in Spain (2000–2004), Corday's palette was limited to black. Corday created her own paint mulling raw pigment and charcoal into a synthetic polymer base to create a tar-like substance and fabricated tools for its application to raw linen and canvas. Corday moved back to the United States in 2005 to a studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn New York. She created a series of painted works as abstract blueprints for the Form HELDAN and the PROTOIST Series. In 2009, Corday's painted work entitled THAHLES (72" x 216") was installed in the Richard Meier building and collection of 165 Charles Street, New York City, New York.

Famous quotes containing the word paint:
“I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“You will pardon some obscurities, for there are more secrets in my trade than in most men’s, and yet not voluntarily kept, but inseparable from its very nature. I would gladly tell all that I know about it, and never paint “No Admittance” on my gate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We write from aspiration and antagonism, as well as from experience. We paint those qualities which we do not possess.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
