Daniel Wallis
Since graduating from Central Saint Martins, Daniel Wallis has worked with various galleries and museums including Tate Modern, Whitechapel Gallery, the Hayward Gallery and The British Museum running projects and courses that help people to explore concepts, generate ideas and make personal Interpretations. These projects have allowed Daniel to work with a diverse range of people including school groups of all ages, senior groups, families, and youth groups, often involve collaborating with other artists, film-makers, storytellers, historians, architects, actors, scientists and musicians.
He uses his work in these galleries and museums directly in his own artwork which explores the way we use knowledge and experience to make personal interpretations of artwork, objects and the world.
