Artist Statement
<p class="Body"><span style="color: #222222;">My work is about the crossing of consumer culture with the deeper human instincts of value, care, intimacy, and play. Utilizing the framework of assemblage, I look for traces of objects within the shapes of body parts and discarded product packaging. My mold-blown glass sculptures are created from plaster casts of the body and vacuum-formed plastic toy and product packaging. The pieces reference the doubling of time and identity, drawing on my experience as mother and daughter.</span><b><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Artist Statement
<p>My artwork is a visual diary about my obsessive thoughts and humorous take on habit, identity and time. Juggling three part-time jobs in addition to being an artist, spouse and mother feels like I live six different lives simultaneously. I constantly try to make sense of the nonsensical through installations, sculptures and performances. As a pathway to self-inquiry, I meticulously craft ridiculous objects and performances to visually embody the absurdities of my daily experiences. The processes are both a struggle and cathartic — just like parenting.</p>

Artist Statement
In the fall of 2018, I kept track of what I was doing all day long in a spreadsheet. Each activity I<br />assigned to one of half a dozen different categories, including child care, housework, art<br />practice, and sleep. I picked one week of that time period and during the course of my artist<br />residency at the Women’s Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles, turned it into Timesheet:<br />November 4–10, 2018, a work comprising seven weavings, one representing each day of that<br />week. I wove it during weekly studio hours, on my floor loom that I moved into the space for the<br />exhibition. By giving these ephemeral activities form through my weaving, I have created an<br />analog data visualization of invisible and undervalued domestic labor and transformed it into an<br />artwork with monetary and cultural value.

Artist Statement
As an artist I have utilized my daily life as muse; my work inevitably reflects this. After spending years on a body of work, I felt as if I had nowhere left to go. I found myself alone in my studio, in a new city, with a young child, a changing relationship with my parents as they age and I mature, and a vastly different partner as he met a new stage in his life. I turned my eyes away from those relationships that had so long inspired me, toward the objects that surrounded me. The objects were real, solid, reliable, and less malleable, less fleeting, tangible markers of this moment in time. The pile of trucks my son left on the floor was less ephemeral then the fact that he was changing at an “unfathomable speed.” The dirty blanket on the couch was reliably there while my partner was often on his own journey. The beauty of the sunlight on the plants, that I never seemed to have time to water, made me remember why I had plants in the first place. The objects became what located me in this state of transition.
I began looking at the objects I could pick up, touch and feel for grounding and using them as my subject. I began to explore the psychological landscape of the domestic space through various media. Zooming in, slowing down, creating labor in the small seemingly insignificant moments is an attempt to bring awareness and attention to the glimpses, touches, and objects that create our daily experience. Through my labor intensive drawing and the witness of my camera I invite the viewer to slow down, look around and notice their own landscape… a landscape of their domestic world, their emotional state, and their mind.
My graphite drawings allow me to focus on the importance of these small objects or moments, amplifying their texture, tones and detail, abstracting their meaning and role while simultaneously elevating them. Through this work I am able to replicate my beloved process of the darkroom via my technique of drawing with projection & enlargement, mirroring the process of silver halide printing and the use of a grain focuser, the tool which brings a negative to clarity, and using technique to develop the tonal variations important to the image. The photographs capture the document of this moment in time, in the home, my life and my psychological experience. The photographs with their rich saturated colors make the subject vibrant and seductive while the drawings remain in black and white concentrating on the quiet completive experience being investigated via the work
The images vary from small to large scale and play with ideas of hierarchy through this variation in size and the installation. The work varies from being formally framed and hung while others would remain in a place of process, i.e. hung low/ high on the wall, with and without frame, leaning on the floor, in suspension. This formal exploration is meant to allude to the hierarchies that exist in our mind about our domestic space and both its value and importance as well as its dismissal and ignorance of.
My intention is to create a conceptual presentation of an intimate subject. My goal is for the mediums to work together as one in formal groupings and visual relationships. Bringing living, breathing things together with the objects that surround me all of which I touch and care for to feel more alive and present in this moment.

Artist Statement
I am a young adult cancer survivor and recently had my first child. These life events have greatly impacted my creative practice. Confronting my own mortality at age 25 and then experiencing the fragility and strength of birth, I have become obsessed with tracking time- documenting the small, routine moments of my life and my child's life. I am interested in content and parts of life that loop and repeat. I find that abstracted, repeated marks communicate the passage of time and memory best in my work. I want to give the viewer intimate, personal moments that capture the both fleeting and endless seconds of being alive.

Artist Statement
<strong>Gestation:</strong> As the name suggests it was inspired by my pregnancies. Responding to my experience of motherhood, my work is involved with the repetitive nature of parenting and how that can been reflected in art and the practice of mindfulness. Other concerns within the work are family, the process of birthing and its counterpart, loss. Although these issues have been personal concerns, they are ones which have been shared by woman throughout history.
<span>Danila Rumold’s current series dissolves things seemingly in opposition. Deconstructing conventional notions of painting in her work, Rumold crosses over from painting into large-scale collage and installation. Employing household tools, such as stove-top burners and washing machines in the materials’ preparation, she blurs the commonly separated roles of care-taking and art-making. Sleeping, cooking and eating on top of paper results in spontaneous mark-making, which Rumold explores as formal abstractions while referencing the body. Using semi-translucent Mulberry paper stained with earthy colors made from regional plant and food dyes, Danila brings the components together with readymade art materials. Inviting everyday experiences and chance to catalyze the work, Rumold integrates the unconscious and conscious; art and life.</span>

Biographical Text
When I started my graduate program in 2013, I was confident that becoming a mother was not compatible with my studio practice. In the middle of my first semester, I began to question this assumption. As an experiment, I assumed the opposite was true, that there was work that I could only make if I was a mother. I was suddenly able to envision not only the work, but also myself in the role of “mother” for the first time. Three months later I was pregnant and I got to work. Creating in this way allows me to form myself in a role of “mother” and in turn motherhood continually redefines my practice. The work opens up dialogues about circumstances that are publicly debated, but only privately experienced.
I measured my stomach with a piece of yarn at navel height the day I found out I was pregnant. I tied the yarn off in a loop. I repeated this every day until the day I went into labor. Every week of the second trimester, I lifted 26 pounds, one pound over the recommended amount a pregnant woman should lift, using a block and tackle pulley system and created a transfer drawing with the impact when it was dropped from nine feet.
I established mechanisms to capture the physical actions of parenting as a mark on a page, beginning while I was in labor. For instance, the area rug in the nursery created transfer drawings as we walked across the room, the glider rocker created drawings as we rocked, and the stroller created drawings as we strolled. These works were enabled by the activities of our daily lives and captured the kinetic energy and labor involved in the care and nurturing of an infant.
During the second and third months of my daughter’s life, I created a series of watercolors exclusively while she slept, with each set considered complete when she awoke, allowing my circumstances to dictate aspects of my creative output. While breastfeeding, I made drawings on paper I created from my bed sheets with looping marks corresponding to individual suck and swallow motions of nursing providing a real-time read out of this experience. I commissioned a reproduction of the plastic measuring scoop that comes in a container of Similac infant formula to be cast from silver baby spoons.
Other iterations of this series include my daughter’s nursery as camera obscura; cyanotypes created with her blankets, toys and clothing; early stages of her own mark-making captured through fingerprint dust; silverpoint drawings tracing her early movements made with jewelry from my grandmother; and paintings made with a baby bottle and formula. As a whole, this project-based work is a personal narrative taking form as poetic visual data.
The works are exhibited as sets and series. An entire year’s action of rocking a baby is a set of 59 drawings made with our rocking chair. One year of walking across a nursery rug is a row of 12 large transfer drawings. Fifty feet of watercolors represent a tiny sampling of the available time during early parenthood when the baby slept. The work visualizes how care taking has shaped me as an individual and how it has transformed my mark making.
I view everything related to the experience of parenthood as a valid subject matter and/or mark making tool and this has opened up new methods of creating. The pieces are derived from the everyday. The interface of specific materials and processes with the everyday provides an entry point into broader topics of gender, production, reproduction, care, biological processes and cultural systems.
