It doesn’t get closer and deeper than it does with my sister. She has always been there for me during times of difficulty. This picture goes back to graduate school in Seattle WA, 2001. by @danila.rumold

Living on the edge of living and dying. Could be hours, days, months. Here is my main takeaway eloquently said by the poet Rumi

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. by @danila.rumold

It’s my pleasure to invite you to attend an upcoming group exhibit, “A Slice of Pie,” at Pie Projects Gallery, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Opening Reception is Dec 2nd, 4-6pm and will run through January 6th, 2024.

I will be sharing three works, including a small collection of some of my new work, “Nine Goddesses.” Here are some words about the work:

The female breast is steeped in a rich history of meanings and symbolism. Physiologically, it is how women feed and nourish their babies. Intimately, it is a site of sensual pleasure that evokes emotional and spiritual connection. Pathologically, women across all ages and ethnicities may experience discomfort and disease here, from clogged ducts to breast cancer. The shared stories of women throughout history are embodied in the complex and beautiful anatomy of the breast.

As a woman and an artist, I am connected with this deep history. When I learned that I would lose my own breast, I made a plaster mold to capture its essence. After the surgery, I began casting paper positives and covering them with materials I found in nature or that were gifted to me as a means of bringing emphasis to the interconnectedness between human bodies and the living world. This process was an act of presence both with my own emotional state and with nature as it bloomed all around me.

In this small collection, “Nine Goddesses,” I am calling on the spirit Goddess Durga, who is associated with strength, protection, motherhood, wars and destruction. In doing so, this work is both an acknowledgment of loss and the grief of impermanence as well as a celebration and offering of gratitude for my body as a woman, wife and mother.

These breasts are the physical manifestation of a deep personal transformation. They are but one layer of beauty in a cascade of life experience to which viewers might bear witness and process their own stories.
