David Haxton

Haxton was born in 1943 and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He primarily works with raw materials, (mostly cut paper) to create a kind of sculpture. He then pays close attention to the backdrops and lighting. As he describes his process: 


“A large format camera is placed in a dark studio. Photographic backdrop paper is arranged and cut, lights are placed in the space and the film is exposed...The slashes and cuts in paper are a record of a performance for the camera.”


David Haxton currently resides in Winter Park, Florida where he works as a professor of photography at the University of Florida.
