Ann Burke Daly’s Spatio-temporal practice includes sculpture; video; sound; performative task-based actions; drawing; writing; scripted spoken narrations; research; and objects (found, made, and altered). Their work mines the paradoxes of language and the unconscious; the vagaries of memory and perception; gender and subjectivity; unseen histories; the terrain of the psyche. Ann is currently at work on a new project which is a meditation on the lived experience of invisible chronic illness, shifting identiity, and disability via narrative fragments, and autobiography.
