In 2015 she was a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome, and selected for Creative Capital and LMCC's Artists Summer Institute. She has taught at Vassar and CUNY, and was represented by Linda Kirkland Gallery, NY, NY (1996–1999, closed). Daly works through a time-based performative process, physical poetics, and embodied actions. Daly creates sound, video, sculptural, found object, drawing, photographic and other installations which are psychologically engaging, empathic, and meditate on the afterlife of documents, objects, structures, trace evidence, and the limits of language, perception, and memory. She works with an expanded sensory range including time, bodily awareness, smell, sound, haptics, and vision.
