The Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Daniel Turner just finished a group show at Photo Epicenter in San Francisco. Turner uses a number of nonconventional materials, including camphophenique, tar, vinyl, umbrellas, and life jackets and in so doing questions fundamental ideas of beauty and utility.
A number of these materials evoke a sense of home for Turner, thus adding another layer of intrigue to his pieces. A mail correspondence interview with him will be shortly forthcoming as part of a series entitled “Painting by Words.”
