ABOUT
BIO
Daniel is a Brooklyn-based artist working across several mediums. With over 10 years of experience in high-end commercial photography, he provides archival-quality Art Documentation Services for Artists, Galleries, Collectors, Advisors and Institutions in the New York City Area.
He received a BA in New Media: Film from Fairfield University in 2010. The program emphasized storytelling as the foundation of all art while cultivating the technical and theoretical functions of the camera.
After graduating he began working with Michael Weber, an industry-leading interior and architectural photographer. Over the course of a decade Daniel would develop and master the skills of photography production and post-production. During this time he travelled to over 40 cities across 11 countries, galvanizing his approach to photography with his expanding worldview. While the camera looked abroad, he would look inward at his own country, directly experiencing the interconnectedness of globalism and uncovering the latent role of American capitalism within it. He began to photograph street exteriors like commercial interiors, highlighting mundane metropolitan activities and creating a microscopic view of a global economy in motion. In a stark contrast to this practice, Daniel began capturing and compositing multiple wilderness landscapes to create expansive and immersive collages which became his Horizons series.
Daniel is an original member of the Brooklyn Collage Collective (c.2013) which drove his personal work away from the camera and computer to fully analog processes with paper and mixed media works. His work continued to expand into several more mediums including sculpture, textile, installation, music, and Japanese Tea Ceremony.
In 2015, he and Eri King formed ERIDAN, whose conceptual framework explores ideas of the Everyday. They are driven by the dialogue of value, consumer culture, and planned obsolescence, and accordingly work under the ethos: “Our hand is the machine that makes the art”. Their body of work is informed by handmade processes applied to various modes of making such as fiber sculptures, installation art, drawing, and performance. They engage found everyday materials in an eclectic manner not only to utilize their symbolic and contextual power, but to also express the freedom of making art with anything and seeing art in everything. Collaboration is at the heart of their practice and they have explored this concept more directly with each successive project.
