Dan Harnett

Inspired by my deep connection with the sea, my work blends photography and chromatography, spanning abstract compositions and still life studies. Influenced by my years in the merchant navy and childhood on the Kent coast, I explore the intersection of memory, place, and transformation.

My photography captures human relationships with the sea, while my chromatography practice reveals the invisible—patterns, pigments, and chemical traces inspired by seashells, seaweed, driftwood, and tidal treasures. These vibrant patterns reflect the layered narratives of maritime journeys, bridging science and art.

Seafarers and landlubbers experience the sea differently; my chromatography highlights these contrasts through molecular transitions that mirror our diverse connections with the ocean. Each piece offers viewers a glimpse into the emotions, challenges, and discoveries of life at sea.
