Daniel Hawkins

(American, born 1974)

Dan Hawkins is a Seattle-based photographer who uses a wide variety of obsolete and innovative imaging processes. His photographs are highly personal and often deal with themes of memory and decay. His subjects are empty houses, discarded water towers, EPA Superfund sites, chemical factories, decaying ballrooms, deserted nuclear facilities, crumbling hotels, and a number of derelict mental hospitals and jails. Hawkins attempts to describe a “landscape of the soul.”
