entry description
There is layer of conscience reality that rests imperceptibility beyond the physical surface of life. Gateways, portals, windows, reflections and oddities is what I've been trying to capture as an artist for 30 years. My lifetime goal is to see beyond the subject matter to the meaning beyond. This series of reflected outside-looking-in window images occurred while driving for 14 very emotional hours after my fathers funeral. The titles represent his progression into the next life.All of these images are single exposure and have had no layering or digital manipulation part from some artistic color balancing I did in Light Room. Thank You in Advance....Bill Burgess
about the photographer
I'm interested in using composed music, video installation, painting and photography to try and capture the parallel but elusive world of the wakeful dream state. There is layer of conscience reality that rests imperceptibility beyond the physical surface of life. Gateways, portals, windows, reflections and oddities that lift our minds from the mindless busyness is what I'm looking for. In this age of ascending digital exuberance and hubris, I feel more than ever drawn to the ephemeral. The beautiful. The unmeasurable and the unexplainable. I am the son of the late William Burgess, who's 4 story 44 ton abstract sculpture Continuum is a permanent fixture of the US Olympic Museum in Colorado Springs CO. I have written music for Apple, Disney and NBC and have toured three continents as a musician.back to gallery
