William Daniels

I am a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with textiles. I enjoy creating with fabric; exploring the endless possibilities of its multiple uses. My art quilts and accessories feature traditional quilt blocking and paper piecing techniques. I sometimes incorporate nontraditional components in my work.
I derive inspiration from urban art practice that confronts contemporary issues and am always experimenting to integrate modern archetypes with historical, societal, or spiritual topics. While some of the concepts in my work are quite unambiguous and literal, others are abstract references to the anthropological experience, individuality, or contain esoteric philosophies and historical references from the coded glyphs of ancient cultures.

I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and currently live, work, and create art in New York City. I am a PhD candidate pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in Art Theory, Philosophy and Aesthetics at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts.
