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.
