Lightness Of Being
November 7, 2020 — January 5, 2021
Municipal Bonds is pleased to present Danielle Dimston: Lightness of Being, a solo exhibition of works on paper. Dimston creates watercolors and drawings notable for a minimalist palette, linear composition, and transcendent field. Her work radiates emotional honesty through purity of the line—accessed by repetition, gradation, and undulation.
The fluidity of Dimston’s drawings, and the luminosity of her watercolors, shift perceptual awareness from structural to ethereal. Whether by arch, spiral, or triangle, the lines touch to connect, construct, mend. Some organically structured, others geometrically built—all are inclusively joined to the hand, the process, and the medium. With a meditative sense of space, unburdened by time or representation, Dimston’s abstractions emit lightness—at ease, an invitation to safe harbor met by psychological freedom.

Tiffany & Co.
July 2012
One of four artists selected by Tiffany & Co., this installation was commissioned to launch the opening of a new store in Soho. The storefront became a wooden canvas and was completed in two and one half days in July 2012.
Artist Danielle Dimston found inspiration in New York City's Soho neighborhood for the façade of Tiffany's new store, 2012.
A Walk in the Woods
2006
To inaugurate their new space in Brooklyn, Smack Mellon put out a call for site-specific installations for the show titled Site 92. I was selected and commissioned to create A Walk in the Woods. Using the existing cast iron columns as a visual metaphor for tree trunks, I presented shelf mushrooms of corrugated cardboard and attached them to the columns. The underside of each 'shelf mushroom' had an ink drawing.
The Ladder Project
2003
The Ladder Project was created at the barn of The Millay Colony for the Artsin Austerlitz, NY. With an Independent Project Grant from Artist Space in 2003, The Ladder Project was recreated in an urban environment as eight 65-foot ladders coming out of the windows of an industrial building in Long Island City, NY. The Ladder project was presented at the Arts Center at Kingdom Falls, a former school building in Belfast, ME. The ladders are made of Foamulair and staples.
