Dan created the "Window to the Past" wall carving as part of a collaborative exhibit, "Conversations in Craft", with North Bennet Street School (Boston, MA) and Fruitlands Museum (operated by The Trustees of Reservations). The wall carving was inspired by the CT Sunflower Chest, ca. 1690, which is part of the Trustees' permanent collection at
The Mission House- Stockbridge, MA.
