Since his last solo exhibition at The Alice Wilds in 2019, McCullough’s focus has shifted slightly from exploring the plastic properties of photographic film to a higher concentration on the natural wonders of light; moving further away from artificial manipulation.
In his own words…
My work is influenced by the wonder and mystery of the natural landscape around me. I am interested in exploring the vast and invisible space between the camera lens and the recorded image. Using the magical properties of light as a subject and as a tool for abstraction, I look for in between moments in the landscape to reveal nature’s expressive detail. The use of infrared light and chance-based darkroom drawings allow me to work in unseen and unplanned moments of the photographic process, creating connections between observation and expression. At Night features photographs shot during all hours of the day, but references the atmosphere of night and the darkness, mystery, and beauty that it brings.
Daniel McCullough is a visual artist and photographer based in Milwaukee, WI. McCullough received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2018, and was a Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists finalist in 2018 and 2019. He was selected for the Plum Blossom Initiative Bridge Work 04 Professional Development Program, 2018-2019. McCullough has shown his work both regionally and nationally and is currently represented by The Alice Wilds in Milwaukee, WI. His work is influenced by the wonder and mystery of the landscape around him.

June 27: 4PM, 5:30PM, 7PM, and 8:30PM
at The Alice Wilds
Step of Two, a duet, features former Milwaukee Ballet dancers Itzel Hernandez and Annia Hidalgo. This gallery performance brings the exceptional artistry of two of Milwaukee’s most accomplished ballet dancers into close proximity to the audience for a rarefied and visceral personal experience. The piece explores intimacy, gender, and partnership as two women dance together in a deconstructed classical ballet Pas de Deux by contemporary choreographer Dawn Springer. The Alice Wilds gallery presents Step of Two in celebration of Pride Month, alongside a new exhibition by photographer Daniel McCullough which will be on view from Friday, June 14 – Saturday, July 27, 2024.
