Daniel Turner

Daniel Turner (b. 1983 in Portsmouth, VA; lives and works in New York) is a visual artist working primarily in sculpture involving the creation or manipulation of materials, objects and environments into tactile or atmospheric forms. These forms are often characterized by a specific response to an environment under a controlled set of processes. This approach has enabled Turner to base form on transposition, preserving a sensory link to geographical locations, cultural associations and human contact. These elements are present in former works where an entire waiting room is cast into a series of solid bars, a psychiatric facility burnished to a darkened stain against an exhibition wall, or a cafeteria dissolved across the expanse of a floor.
