About


Decay, corrosion and the twisting, grinding pressures of the passage of time and tide shape Daniel’s work. He spends long hours by the water’s edge, harvesting the objects, both natural and manmade, that have been consumed, digested and finally disgorged by the sea.
Carapaces washed up from the seafloor, shrapnel caught in the tides and dumped without ceremony on the foreshore, centuries’ worth of driftwood and wrought metal from wrecked and scuppered vessels are scavenged and salvaged during long, lonely hours at the shoreline.

Age and neglect reforge metals to create landscapes of imagining and microscopic alien worlds.

This exhibition, Time and Tide, draws together several themes from Daniel's earlier work, exploring corrosion, timelessness and how we respond to change and decay.
This collection of thirty new bronzes reflects Daniel's growing interest in the use of scale in how the viewer witnesses and experiences pieces of sculpture. The materials used have been curated from the Folkestone shore less than a mile away.

A solo exhibition of Daniel's prints and bronzes, drawing together the strange worlds of his photography and the distorted forms of his sculpture. His work highlights the twisting, gouging, wrenching effect of time on seemingly permanent objects and perspectives.

Daniel's bronzes were part of a curated exhibition of work by staff and students of Heatherley Art School, where he trained and now works in the Sculpture Department. This and his solo show were the most recent of several exhibitions of his work at the school over the years.

Other exhibitions
In addition to Heatherly's, Daniel's work has also been featured in shows at the Bankside Gallery Southbank, the Poulton Art Society, Brompton Art Foundation, The Gallery at Green & Stone, and the Chelsea Art Show. He has just agreed to take part in next year’s Folkestone Triennial.
