Working with the edges of living and dying, a place where opposites meet.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

There is a shift happening in my life right now… growing pains and realizations.

For the first time ever I took the work I have done as a community builder in the arts and brought it into my studio. 48 artists shared scraps I collected and made into one large quilt that is currently being installed in TX (more on that soon).

The months of working on that piece had me reflecting a lot on the ways in which we connect. My life has been so enriched by knowing so many artists. It some ways I have been spread thin by these connections and I am ready to go deeper. By making art about this work. And by giving away bits of myself to fewer artists in a more intentional way.

I’m not quite sure how…but I know that 2025 will be a year of less virtual/digital time for me. More tangible reflecting + connecting is on the horizon. In January of this year I started a substack and have pitifully only sent 2 letters out. This is partly because I forgot I had some unraveling to do before I could dig in… I needed to pull myself back from the places I was spread thin in order to move inward. There’s a link in my bio if you’d like to connect with me off IG and on substack.

I’m also proud to share that I have made the decision to retire the beloved Crit Crew program I ran through @artistmotherpodcast and @thrivetogethernetwork - it was so meaningful to do that work for so many years and help other artists form connections.

I am ready to step into my own place of deeper rooted connections and build community that looks a little different. Applications are open for the @kinhouseart cohort program. My dream is to work with a smaller group of artists over a longer period of time and get to connect in person! Each person in the cohort will get the opportunity to come to my city for a residency so we can spend time together. Please check it out if you’re feeling the same shifts and desiring those deeper connections.

If you’ve made it to the end, thank you for reading. It’s so hard to share the complex bits of ourselves in this way. Here’s to seasonal shifts as we move forward on our paths as individuals and in community. What shifts are you feeling now or headed into 2025? 💛

Such a special time getting to hop over to New Jersey for a quick trip to see Nurture /Nature while it is still up— and in doing so, to get to connect with such a dear friend and incredible artist, @laurenrosenthalmcmanus , who also happens to be the talented curator of this exhibition.

Centered on themes of care, this exhibition showcases, among a few others, the work of a small group of artists gathered initially under the mentorship of @danila.rumold , which led to a tremendous friendship network of profound care and connection, spanning such tender territory of life, and into Danila’s recent death and departure from this realm.

The exhibition catalog exists online, containing more information about the works, as well as Lauren’s gorgeous curatorial statement. Find it here: https://online.fliphtml5.com/yitec/bbds/#p=1

Thank you, Lauren, for this opportunity and all the love and labor poured into it. Thank you @raritanvalleycc for hosting this special collection of works. Thank you, Danila, for the profound ways you have forever changed and shaped my life.

Thank you @laurenrosenthalmcmanus for including some of my pieces in this beautiful exhibition at @rvcc_art_gallery! It’s wonderful to be showing alongside so many dear friends and to see our work in dialogue after so many conversations around these same themes.
.
“nurture / nature” opened on 8/27 and will be on view through September 27, with an opening reception Friday, September 6 from 5-7pm. The show features 8 women whose work embodies the feminine value of care and compassion. Whether through temporary sacrifice in the best interests of another, collaboration with community and the land, attentive consideration of the seemingly mundane, or holding and passing the torch of ancient traditions, mothers offer a specific kind of energy that, while often overlooked, is quite significant and urgently necessary. By exposing the dynamic nature of our inherent interdependence, I hope that this exhibition offers inspiration for both our individual and cultural evolution toward greater regard for one another and the planet we call home

In my Junior year @utksoa, Visiting Artist @levine.d gave an assignment to curate a “dream” show 💤🎨.
.
That request/assignment has followed me all these years. From curating full time @tsuartanddesign to pop ups @dadueast (announcing more w @sam_angel_photo soon!) my works shown in conversation with others, and writing, is a steady drum beat to this life I’ve made in art.
.
Get ready for my newest baby, THE SINK 🚰—@the_sink_show —generously hosted by @tinneycontemporary and @nashvillepantheon —and including an EPIC roster of artists. Opening July 6th (my birthday 🐚).

It is with profound sadness that we share news of the passing of TAAC artist and friend Danila Rumold. Danila passed away on March 18th, 2024, after a nearly two-year battle with breast cancer. Danila was one of TAAC's Inaugural artists, and she also participated in our Fall 2023 Exhibition. In 2022, we had the pleasure of visiting Danila in her ABQ studio to film a TAAC TALK, which is archived and linked on both our website and in our bio. In the talk, Danila spoke candidly with us about her contemplative practice, sustainability, spirituality, and motherhood. Danila made a profound impact on our community and is deeply missed.

With permission from Danila's family, TAAC will be exhibiting one of her works at the upcoming Spring Exhibition. You may also view Danila's current exhibition, "Danila Rumold: Transformations" at @pieprojects.santafe through April 13th, and later this month Danila will have a final exhibition of her latest work at @exhibit208, with a public reception on Friday, April 19, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. There will also be a public gathering and remembrance at the gallery on Saturday, April 27th, at 2:00 p.m.

Utterly ambushed by grief and gratitude lately. Grief that she’s gone. Grief in particular for her family and all the sorrow left in her absence. Gratitude that I got to know her... to be her friend… to call her so dear… and to get to spend some of her last days together. @danila.rumold demonstrated the grace, wisdom, and power of letting go over these past few years, eventually encouraging others to also let go as her time narrowed.

As palpable grief continues to spill from my eyes, gratitude simultaneously wells in my heart. Little by little, I sense both flows working in tandem to erode my impulse to cling. So much of what she’s taught me is that art and life both require intimate holding and unmitigated release.

Though I could say so much more, for now just this briefly in her impact on me:

In my journey as an artist, I’ve faced moments where I lost touch with this core identity. The season of early motherhood landed me in a critical space in which I knew I needed the anchor of a regular studio practice. The slog of sleepy days and small children, however, made it challenging to find my way back to a creative rhythm, especially after a long stretch of artistic dormancy.

Feeling stuck, I sought mentorship and found Danila. Her belief in me shattered my impostor syndrome, reigniting my artistic passion. She saw potential where I doubted, urging me to embrace playfulness and consistency. With her guidance, I’ve rekindled my studio practice with an enthusiasm that keeps me feeling nourished. Words of her shared wisdom hang on my studio walls—her example and impact hangs forever in my heart. Danila’s influence remains profound, continuously shaping both my art and my life.

I love you, friend.

"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… 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."
