Daniel Rumbolt

Daniel Rumbolt is a settler artist from the northern peninsula of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland), currently based in St. John’s, NL. He recently completed his MFA in Fibres and Material Practices at Concordia University in Montreal. His multidisciplinary art practice is informed by his experiences being raised in coastal communities, and uses material manipulation to transform rural narrative and queer tensions into a tangible form. His practice seeks catharsis through earnest contemplation of memory and mourning; works are influenced by home, informed by insecurity, and softened by time and understanding. Rumbolt’s work has been shown at The Rooms, St. John’s, and Union House Arts, Port Union.

Daniel speaks on the panel, “Making by Hand: Contemporary and Customary Craft Practices” as part of Biennale Conversations programming.

Daniel’s installation will be visited during the Discovery UNESCO Global Geopark hike on August 30.
