“I grew up with art in the house: my father was a sculptor and my mother trained as
a painter. I owe a great deal to the ambiance of that household, but also to the books.
There were so many books in that house: all kinds of books, encyclopedias and dictionaries,
books on nature, music, literary classics and art. When I started studying art I already
knew the works of Rodin, Velasquez and Giotto, although I couldn't properly pronounce
any of their names.
Since then I have earned several degrees and I've taught in a major art school
for 43 years. I discovered Caravaggio while living in Rome and I have had the good
fortune to know, and learn from, many of my peers and all of my students. Yet when
I was asked to write a short biographical sketch, I could not resist writing about
the house in which I grew up, and all those books.”
—Daniel Dallmann

March 12, 2013 Daniel Finch lecture, "Men, Monsters, and Myth: The Work of Daniel
M. Finch"
Artist Daniel Finch to present "Men, Monsters, and Myth: The Work of Daniel M. Finch",
Tuesday, March 12 at the Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University
MANHATTAN —Kansas State University Department of Art will present an Artist’s Lecture
by nationally recognized artist Daniel Finch, March 12, 4:00 pm at the Beach Museum of Art on Kansas State University campus.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Daniel M. Finch was born in Orlando, Florida in 1971. His work has been featured numerous times in
the national publication New American Paintings, and he has exhibited extensively across the country, most recently in Alfred, New
York and Atlanta, Georgia. Daniel received his Master of Fine Arts degree in the field
of painting and drawing from the University of Georgia in Athens. He is currently
an Associate Professor of painting and drawing at Messiah College, and resides in
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, with his wife Carrie, and their two children, Mira and
Dominic.
Finch’s paintings are an active attempt to manually rebuild a mechanical image distorted
and degraded through the processes of automation and transmission. Through physical
interaction, his greatest hope for both himself and the viewer is a reconnection with
the primacy and energy of the initial event portrayed. It is no accident that the
majority of his subject matter is taken from archetypal characters and events, whether
historic or mythical: King Kong, Evel Knievel, Bruce Lee, etc. They were, for better
or worse, powerful symbols for a young boy growing up in the wake of the sexual revolution,
in the post-Vietnam 70’s. The paintings are a search for the remnants of masculine
identity among the media icons of Finch’s generation.

Arts in Photography. She earned her MA in Photography with a minor in Painting from

From the artist:
Relationships are an integral part of everyday life. Associations and identity are
formed by comparisons. Mine is a world of composites. Seemingly disparate objects
converge to form a greater whole. The structure of much of my work comes from identifying
parallels, forming associations. Images interact, and language qualifies. Often dualities
are explored and certainties questioned. Much of my imagery stems from everyday concerns
and experience. Personal then becomes social, multi-layered in meaning.

September 17-18, 2012 Eric Burris Workshop and Artist Talk
Metalsmith Eric Burris to present the Workshop “Small Scale Mokume Gane” September
18–19 in 318 Willard Hall and Artist talk on September 18 at 10 am in 117 Willard
Hall, Kansas State University.
MANHATTAN —Kansas State University Department of Art will present a workshop by metalsmith
and jeweler Eric Burris, September 18–19, 9 am–5 pm in room 318 Willard Hall, and slide lecture on September 18 at 10 am in 117 Willard on Kansas State University campus.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Eric Burris constructs sculptural jewelry, influenced by nature, architecture, travel,
and the materials themselves. He combines wood with Mokume Gane; they complement each
other visually, but contrast in terms of natural vs. man-made. Maps are incorporated
to offer visual clues and add color.
Mokume Gane, a technique born out of Japanese metalsmithing translates into English
as “wood eye metal”. It is a time consuming process where two or more different metals
are alternately stacked, clamped and heated to high temperature. The result is the
lamination of all layers into a solid mass of metal, or billet. The billet is then
prepared for patterning by forging to half its original thickness. The pattern is
started by carving through layers and forging the billet even thinner, or by bumping
the surface and grinding through the first several layers. In both cases a very organic
wood grain pattern develops. The billet is now usable as sheet metal which can be
formed, forged, and soldered.
Burris currently lives in Silver Spring, MD with his partner Gretchen and their dogs
Lita and Sligo. He has a small but well-equipped studio where he is able to make his
own raw materials. He participates in regional and national fine craft shows and festivals.
He has also been an educator for several years, teaching at the college level and
conducting workshops on the Mokume Gane technique.
