Dan

Art and beyond

After floating between jobs and feeling a lack of direction, Dan began his journey at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø studying what he is most passionate about – art. He has graduated from ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø with a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Honours) and a Doctor of Philosophy.

An artist with a practice based in ceramics, Dan has been able to travel, exhibit and teach extensively throughout Australia and abroad. He has also worked as a Visual Arts Technician and Ceramics
Lecturer at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, with plans to move to Melbourne to continue his practice there.

Dan’s motivation as an artist stems from the inevitability of death, which puts a profound imperative on life. His creative and professional trajectory – formed by his studies at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø – allowed him to
approach his practice with passion and overcome the rejection and recognition-based challenges of the art industry.

'The short time we have here motivates me to try and make a difference, try and have meaningful and productive interactions, and to try and leave things better than I found them.'
