Originally from New York, Daigle is a San Diego-based artist whose installations often reflect the connection, comfort, and transformation for which she moved west. The pandemic introduced accessible ways for her to accommodate her disability and sensory challenges, and to interact with others, including an online cancer patient’s arts group. As a participant, Daigle collected rocks on life-saving and rejuvenating walks through Lake Murray and Presidio Park. Each rock that she painted and added to her small village felt like two people meeting for the first time saying, “Enchanté” (the French word for “It’s nice to meet you”). As she invites you to discover new arrangements, shapes and colors, Daigle’s work becomes a sort of game while asking, “What do I risk when I reveal more of myself?” And “Can I listen and relate with people once they reveal traits I don’t agree with or understand?”
