About Danielle.
I make The Future palatable.
I’m Danielle (she/her), a multi-disciplinary artist who uses food and objects to create powerful, emotional connections. I call myself a food typographer (and pioneered this sub-genre of design in 2013), which is part photographer, part designer, with a dash of food scientist. All my work is composed in analog and in-camera but relies on technology to be digested. These pieces become statements on social issues, consumerism, and the joy of human connection.
Food is a universal experience, one that evokes nostalgia and warmth. The act of eating is also subversive, mystical, political. Both a cultural signifier and a status symbol-- using food as an artistic medium only enhanced its potency! I've learned languages, taught myself new technologies, and broadened my visual language to include objects— anything to strengthen the connectivity between people and their environments.
