Daniel Kasser's development as a visual artist is, as most are, a complex evolution that reflects his formative experiences, education and diverse interests. His interest in the environmental and technological history of the landscape and the American west has provided the subject and subject matter for his work as a photographer for two decades. Daniel's photographic style has evolved from a West coast, Northern California modernism, exemplified by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, toward a pictorial approach that is unique among contemporary photographers. Critics have identified Kasser's photographs as "constructed realities" and invocations of myth, comedy and tragedy unfolding on the American Western landscape heavily reshaped by technological innovation. In Kasser's recent works, The Western Technosites, he summons and orchestrates photography's verisimilitude, and through them, our expectations and perceptions of landscape photography and the American West. Kasser uses the constructed photograph to interpret the landscape and reveal an evocative symbolic terrain. Within the Technosites Kasser amplifies commonplace artifacts, calling upon us to consider the monumental and continual impact that these objects have had upon the appearance and ecology of the western landscape.
