Nominated by Tara Centybear:
Dani’s artwork bursts with human curiosity and vulnerability. Her delicate works on paper are stories from our dreams, they acknowledge but rebuff the shallow truths we tell ourselves each day, and instead encourage us to believe in the things we are scared to hold too close for fear that the risk will be too great. Fragments of our human stories are brought together each piece resting on her pure white background that emanates optimism and light. Meticulous in her making, sewing, painting, cutting, and collaging, Dani produces fragile works that let us momentarily tap into the parts of us that are breakable and beautiful in a way that very few experiences in life bring about.
