Daniel Haskin

The quiet weather of memory

Daniel Haskin is a multidisciplinary artist based in Western New York whose work investigates the subtle thresholds where memory, atmosphere, and the sacred converge. Through graphite, mixed media, and metallic leaf, he creates finely rendered compositions that move like the weather of dreams — images suspended in charged air, shaped by drift, stillness, and quiet luminosity.

A member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, Haskin extends his practice across poetry and electroacoustic composition. He is the published author of seven books of poetry, and his ambient electronic work, created under the moniker Machines of Love and War, has been featured on the BBC in the United Kingdom, reflecting his broader inquiry into interior landscapes and the phenomenology of light and sound.

Across mediums, Haskin’s work offers distilled encounters with the numinous — brief openings where perception thins and the unseen becomes momentarily visible.
