About

Danielle Tanton is an artist and photographer from the South East of England, living in South London and indexing her experiences as she goes.

Producing works that cross over between print making, sculpture, photography and film, a form of portraiture and self portraiture is currently being investigated, focusing on the surface of the body and impression it leaves.

Influences are namely Bruce Nauman, Rachel Whiteread, Tony Oursler, Helen Chadwick and Yves Klein. In contrast to these, influences include medieval art, renaissance artists, Catholicism, contact relics, reliquaries and traditional portraiture and landscapes.
