David Dann’s “The Clock” Turns Time Inside Out at Deep Water Literary Festival

Radio Catskill volunteer David Dann is an artist, writer, and designer whose work defies easy categorization—just like his newest exhibit, The Clock, on view at the Narrowsburg Union as part of this year’s Deep Water Literary Festival.

A multimedia installation that explores time, transformation, and human reckoning, The Clock merges sculpture, storytelling, and symbolism in a deeply personal and universal meditation on the passage of time.

Culture Reporter Valerie Mansi spoke with David Dann about the inspiration behind the piece and his unconventional artistic journey.
