About — Daniel Moore

Statement

My work is a response to the changing landscape in the rural south, evolving architecture, construction, and our impact on the natural environment. My research is based around landmarks and how people use the physical environment to better understand themselves and their relation to the world. The underlying theme of my work is connectivity. I want to show my audience that we are all navigating the world searching for basic needs like shelter and community. While my work sometimes manifests as drawings, oil paintings, or sculptural paintings milled on a CNC router, it all comes from drawing.
