Dayna Talbot
Dayna Talbot is a multidisciplinary artist whose work has been nationally exhibited and can be found in public and private collections. Utilizing fiber, paint, and sculptural installations her more recent work is a social practice investigating contemporary issues in today’s world. Born outside of Pittsburgh, PA, she received a BFA with distinction from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and her MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design. She is a member of the Boston Sculptors Gallery and has received a fellowship from the Vermont Studio Center. Dayna lives and works in New Hampshire.
As an artist, my work evolves across the mediums of fiber, painting, sculpture, and installation. I explore two and three-dimensional work, from immersive installations and sculptures to paintings, prints, and handmade paper experimenting with process and materials. Dualities within each medium bring up concepts such as order and chaos, confinement and freedom, complexity and simplicity, and structure and fragility. These serve as underlying themes in my work. Ritual and repetition guide my creative process, serving as an investigation of the beauty found within imperfection and impermanence. Reflecting on memories, past and present experiences, and observations of nature, my work documents the interplay between frailty and resilience. The result is visual evidence of how we as humans process our experiences. Monochromatic palettes dominate my work, with colors serving as metaphors for purity, protection, and introspection. From serene whites, blues, and grays creating a sense of silence and tranquility to the warmth of reds, oranges, and pinks associated with the human body, passion, and the natural world.
