Self Portrait, 2022
Dan grew up in Brewster, New York. He has always had a fascination with all things analog. His work primarily is analog or analog adjacent. His work explores the idea of memory and its reliability or lack thereof.
He lives in Northwest Connecticut with his two cats, one dog, an assortment of cameras, and an impending sense of doom.
“I tend to gravitate towards experimentation and trial by fire. Much like wine, film has a shelf life. I appreciate when film goes out of date, because the typical results shift, change, and sometimes become more fascinating to me. I use a variety of films. It’s not always easy to predict what will happen. This idea of the push and pull of failure or success help underpin my work.”
