Trained photographer and emergent sculptor, Samuel E Burns, channels
the raw power of his imagination through the lens of his camera and
metals he welds into serpentine abstraction. Finding through both media
equally satisfying means of exploring sensory perception, Samuel uses his
hands to atomize matter and materialize either. With a responsive eye
and sensitive touch, Samuel shapes invisible dimensions of reality into
vortices of steel, while reducing solid phenomena to pixel values.
Surveying the world largely through his camera, Samuel captures and
reproduces that which seizes his attention, sometimes true to life, other
times reinterpreting or deconstructing life through digital manipulation.
The multi-talented artist has earned recognition for his striking
sculptural designs, with his photographs transforming sensible and
concrete into something illusory and nebulous.
