Daniel Clauson is a Queer and Trans Artist who is currently the Artist in Residence at the Sonoma Ceramics department of the Sonoma Community Center.
Dan utilizes their past experiences of gender dysphoria, relationships, and ‘home’ to influence their work and connects contradicting ideas of love and pain, trauma and acceptance, intimacy and ambiguity. This episode is Dan’s journey thus far from growing up in the Pacific Northwest, loss of love and friendship to drugs and the reality of navigating a broken medical system across the US to have access to gender-affirming testosterone therapy and the devastating numbers of survival rate amongst trans youth. This is also a conversation of Dan’s survival, wonders of the library, the influence of David Bowie and finding joy through art, ceramics, writing and community.
Dan will have their solo exhibition, This Yearning for Longevity, Nov 18th - December 17th in Gallery 212 at the Sonoma Community Center.
