Dan Durso
Fading light
melting into the foreground,
a distant glow remains.
An army of precision,
ordering the dense void.
Seeking symmetry in the asymmetric.
Dueling tides flowing in invisible currents,
journeys of both the known and the unknown.
A crossing into both silent and screaming terrain.
The inspirations driving my work are rooted in an aesthetic of high contrast and dualities existing in a shared space. Through the fusion of a fluid organic space along with graphic geometric imagery, I intend to evoke a visual space that meditates on conflicts between innate/instinctual drives with rational/logical thinking. As our material world of logic and analysis seeks order and balance from our inner world of the transcendent and the ethereal.
