<h1><strong>Julian Parker Burns – Interconnections via the Garden</strong></h1><p><strong>May 2, 2026 - May 30, 2026</strong><br></p><h3><strong><em>Art Walk and Artist Reception: Saturday, May 2nd, 4-7pm</em></strong></h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“My pictures are taken from my commutes, regular visits and favorite locations, and my garden – I see the same places and people in many different lights over a period of time.</p><p>With these images I will create a montage of my photographs by intuitively pairing and combining complementary moments to form a working composition. I then print out overlapping sections from a digital image and affix it with acrylic medium to a primed wood panel. Then I respond to the image with pastel, pencil and paint to infuse an energy that the mechanized elements (the camera, computer and printer) of the process lack. I then may further alter the composition by reintroducing the photographic elements or continue to add pigmented layers of color, line and texture. The work is completed when I feel the line between photograph and hand applied pigment has been blurred and conventions of space and physics have been challenged.”</p>
