Artwork
As an artist, Daniel aims to create desirable pieces that not only have a decorative value but that are rich in historical and cultural value too. Many pieces are based off of archival photographs ranging from the late 19th century through to the late 20th century. He has a particular passion for making works that depict scenes of daily life, contain era defining imagery or that involve some forgotten cultural curiosity.
Photography
Daniel has a budding interesting in the more neglected branches of botany, particularly the study of lichens, mosses and grasses, with a special focus on their relationships to humans through art, philosophy and symbolism. He uses photography as a way to highlight, record and further explore this particular interest. You’ll find he used a lot of symbolism incorporating lichens and other plants in his music.
Music
As a musician, his main goal is to write and compose music with it’s own unique and recognisable sound. Much of his compositional inspiration comes from the traditional music of England, Ireland, Scotland and the sea. His lyrical inspirations are rooted strongly in his interest in botany, where he uses plants as symbols for tackling specific ideas around an array of subjects and themes.
