Danielle James (DJ) is a skilled metalsmith who then set their eyes (pun intended) on mastering the bright lights and fun forms of neon, such as this blinking and winking piece. DJ's work is inspired by social media, dating apps, and internet pop culture and uses classic nostalgic concepts to confront the modern myth of the American Dream. --- "Female Gaze 20/20" by Danielle James is featured in our upcoming #GlassAuctionandGala on 9/14.
