Dannielle Tegeder develops conceptual projects to expand and inform her painting practice, which often explores themes of structural and organizational interconnectivity, delving into subjects that mine and correlate data. In her project Crash Rainbow, she created an installation which charted information as it related to car crash locations, dates, and demographics. Another work, Index of the Invisible, was a long-term project that explored patterns in occurrences of missing people drawn from databases and articles, and resulted in site-specific installations shown in both Chicago and New York City. These projects bridge the science of manmade systems—which are the inspiration for her painting practice—with the real world by investigating patterns linked to actual events. The conceptual works further reveal the artist’s fascination with how information can be interpolated and presented in an engaging way. Several projects were documented through limited edition zine-like publications that were distributed to the public.
