Field Notes:

Metals fabrics and furniture are melted burnt or dissolved so that institutions appear as stains and bars

Defining Moment:

The works made from liquefied fixtures where handrails desks or pipes re solidify as linear ingots of compressed use

Daniel Turner

(

1983–

)

dan-yel turn-er

Turner built a world where dissolution becomes form — objects melted, scrubbed, or compressed until only residue remains.

His works reveal absence as architectural condition.

Structural Focus

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Daniel Turner’s work, this approach appears where industrial materials transform through corrosion and duration.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Language, instruction, and proposition function as the work itself.

Material qualities drive form and spatial logic.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

light as tactile surface

Surface acting as spatial structure.
