Daniel RicardoTeran received his BFA form the Kansas City Art Institute in 2007 and has since completed residencies at Watershed Center For The Ceramic Arts, and The Armory Art Center. He currently lives and works in Philadelphia, Pa. Teran states that, “The myriad drawings on my pottery are derived from many sources: political newspaper clippings, sketchbook drawings, peculiar and nondescript found objects, and old medical illustration books, to name my primary sources. I am an obsessive news reader/NPR listener and I watch as many movies and documentaries concerning the reality of the world as possible. Inevitably, and often subversively, these info binges influence my work. My thrown forms act as a functional stage upon which I am intimately able to express and compose complex narratives.”
