Born in Vietnam in 1977, artist Binh Danh's work often addresses
and reflects his Vietnamese heritage and interest in natural science
and history. He utilizes nineteenth-century photographic processes
such as daguerreotypes and tintypes in his contemporary image-making.
Danh invented an amazing photographic technique in which he grows
an image in plant leaves through a photosynthesis process. The leaves
themselves become chlorophyll prints. Danh received his BFA in Photography
from San Jose State University and is fast becoming one of San Jose's
finest emerging talents. He was recently accepted into Stanford
University's prestigious M.F.A. program, one of only five artists
accepted into the program.
