In a broad sense, Dooling’s work has always been activated by specific internal and external precarities of being in and of the world. She gathers natural and manufactured objects and life situations and remakes them askew – presenting an entanglement of contradictory realities and temporal instabilities. Her work is realized in multiple mediums and practices in a continually morphing investigation of things in space and time.

Daniella Dooling received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA in sculpture from Yale University School of Art. Solo exhibitions include Esther Massry Gallery, Albany, N.Y., Incident Report, Hudson, N.Y., Michael Steinberg Fine Arts, New York, N.Y.; Anna Kustera Gallery, New York, N.Y.; and Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Buffalo, N.Y.
