Daniel Forest: “Clay is my primary medium. Sculpture is the form it takes. I’m currently in the MFA program in studio arts at the University of New Mexico. Large scale projects evolve from a paradigm of displacement and rootlessness, not in order to provide answers or solutions but to engage with the oft suppressed undercurrent of anxiety that enshrouds a person or a culture in relation to these topics. I teach intro to ceramics as a TA, and also have a well-established studio practice in Santa Fe when not working full time at the University.”
