Daniel Eugene Pugh (Dan) creates images, objects and films that explore randomness and absurdity. He received his BFA in Sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute and is a 2010 candidate for an MBA from the Illinois Institute of Technology Stuart School of Business. Dan’s work is occasionally shown throughout the United States. He is a past recipient of the Margaret Allen Barnett Award and Fellow of the AICAD New York Studio Residency Program. Dan currently lives with his wife, Lynn Barnett, and five cats in an 1888 Workman’s Cottage located in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Dan’s current work includes growing his mustache out for six months in order to explore the lost art of properly waxing and styling facial hair.

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.

-William S. Burroughs
