Daniel Lind-Ramos was born in Loíza, Puerto Rico, in 1953, where he currently lives and works. He received his BA from the University of Puerto Rico in 1975 and his MA from New York University in 1979. Lind-Ramos makes his sculptural assemblages using everyday materials collected from scavenging the streets and beaches of his hometown or sourcing from his local community. The objects and materials that the artist incorporates in his work recall the layered histories of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, and the realities of life there today.
