| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I find the greatest inspiration through personal life experience. I am inspired by raising a family, and by the everyday commonplace spirituality of seeing.
I am always returning to a sort of personalized hand-tuned mode of image making through photographic and cinematic means. I employ the various strengths and weaknesses of the imaging tools I use in order to bridge the distance between experience and representation.
Both photographs and (moving image) film speak through metaphor, and represent the interior experience of life through external visual means. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
The greatest struggle is to see through the smokescreen of commercialism, materialism and the various other flavors of mediated vision in order to recognize and attend to the jittering, life giving relationships around us.
The way people integrate life experiences with a bigger understanding of place, historical context, and social community varies. I process these factors through visual investigation, and representation.
I am captivated by the fovial spaces and visual phenomenon on the edges of focus. Fovial experiences can encompass personal vision as well as cultural/historic understanding. Communities and geographies on the outskirts of public knowledge can provide equivalent experiences. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Daniel King is a photographer & filmmaker living in Columbus, Ohio with his wife and two children.
His work routinely uses self-reference, and performance as the catalyst for transformative image.
After obtaining his BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design in Media Studies, Daniel was commissioned as an Officer in the US Air Force and served at the Aerospace Maintenance Center called the Boneyard in Southwest Arizona. He coordinated visits for various international media agencies such as BBC, History Channel, and the Discovery Channel - and began his series of photographs called Sky, Ground Relationships.
The beginning of 2005 saw Daniel move into a position on staff at the Media Arts Department at the University of Arizona, which renewed his passion for experimental film/video through conversations with and lectures by Nicole Koschmann, Joel Schlemowitz, Kirby Dick, and especially Caveh Zahedi.
He is always looking for the dynamic balance between family and art, public and personal, interior and exterior.
He has held employment in a wide range of fields including USPS mail carrier, substitute public school teacher, newspaper editor, US Air Force Officer, media arts program marketing specialist, waiter, proficiency-test evaluator, framer, photographer, and landscape laborer. He is currently paying bills through graphic design related employment. |
