In this episode with artist Daniel Zeller, we talked about the inherent unity between the macro and micro cosmic scales of reality. We talked about natural systems and how we can visualize the interdependent nature of life. We touched on psychedelics and the importance those compounds might hold in our evolution. We also dove into Daniel’s creative process, meditation, and how visual art can function in ways that language seems to fall short. ---------------------- Daniel Zeller earned his MFA in Sculpture from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and a BFA in sculpture from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, though he is now known for his abstract, labor intensive drawings. He has had solo exhibitions at Pierogi in NYC, Daniel Weinberg in Los Angeles, G-Module in Paris, and Michel Soskine Inc., in Madrid.
