EXHIBITIONS
"Craft is used as a similar tool of gentle alienation for the pressing questions in her more recent body of work involving piping oil paint onto various surfaces and objects. While there is a shared interest in craft—cake decorating, embroidery, marbling or ceramics—generally associated with women, notable in works of earlier generations of feminist artists, David’s interest seems less linear in terms of associating it with gender identity politics. Rather, she appears more interested in questioning the relationships between craft and painting. In her work, materiality, whether in paint or frosting, becomes a locus for us to place the human yearning to express a kind of spiritual transcendence not easily explained away by logical animal behaviour."
