Daniel Baird

Daniel Baird was born in Edison, New Jersey in 1984. He is an artist and educator living and working in Chicago, Illinois. His cast sculptures explore collapsed time and the act of preserving the transient while blurring the division between psyche and body in what he describes as “radical tactility.”
