about
Daniel J. King is an artist making lens-based work with a tendency toward the idiosyncratic human relationship to place, geography, and representation. He is from Columbus, Ohio. King's professional career encompasses administration, marketing, communications, website management, and teaching in and around the arts for over 20 years. He has served as photographer and graphic designer with major retail, publishing, and ad agency companies, with the United States Air Force, and in higher education.
From a formal education in photographic studio arts to his embrace of quotidian everyday actions (like the commute, looking down, and day-dreaming with found photos), his artistic practice takes the form of print and digital photographs and moving images (film, video, expanded cinema), books, sculptural objects, interactive mail-art projects and writing. King is most interested in exploring the visual and conceptual possibilities that exist in the process of experiencing place in all its complexity.
