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 remake 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.
