Supporting PennDesign as manager of the the Silverstein Color Center within the Fine Arts Department, Danges is also an accomplished visual artist. His work hovers between image and object, pushing the limit of what a photograph can be and using optical distortions that create abstract scenes from everyday items and places, in a distinctive merging of materials and process. He has recently exhibited at Vox Populi and Moore College of Art.
