Initially inspired by the Photoatlas of Inclusions in Gemstones by Eduard Gübelin and John Koivula, Danny’s images are thoughtfully created, leveraging his gemological knowledge through meticulously-tuned photography tools.
Danny’s work focuses on detailing the imperceptible inclusions and characteristics of gemstones. His creations expose viewers to otherworldly spaces — mountainous horizons hidden in quartz, rutile embedded in sapphire and biotite floating within blue topaz — each image conceiving a seemingly endless journey into the cosmos of the infinitesimal.
His work is naturally foreign to the eye, subverting scale, depth, and composition, allowing the observer to get lost in their own intimate interpretation of hidden realities.
