ABOUT DANIEL GIORDAN
BIO Daniel Giordan (b. 1962, Jackson, Michigan) creates photographic works that explore beauty in its states of collapse and renewal. His images examine the tension between order and entropy, and the ways in which time reshapes our perception of the beautiful. Giordan’s practice centers on transformation—organic forms rendered with precision, then left to decay, revealing the fragile boundaries between permanence and loss. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in private and public collections. He is the author of fifteen books on art and design, and the recipient of the Ellen Stoeckle Battell Fellowship from Yale University and the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for The Art of Photoshop design book published by
Macmillan Publishing.
He lives and works in Chicago.
Artist StatementMy work examines beauty at the moment it begins to fail—when the surface reveals both its exhaustion and its persistence. I treat the photograph as an act of remembrance rather than observation, a way of tracing what time alters but never fully erases. Each image is both confession and artifact: a fragment of light attempting to forgive itself for disappearing.
