Wanderings: A Walk in the Woods
BY DERRICK BURBUL
July 21 – Sept 14, 2023
Reception: Reception: July 20th, 5-7pm
“Here I create photographic works where time is as elastic as Albert Einstein’s description, where photographic processes from the past collide with processes from the now, and create bridges between times, places, and worlds. A place where humans and nature converse, merge, and assess one another.”
To wander is not to be lost, and, to wonder is not to be ignorant, but both lead to imagination and hope. With this work, Burbul hopes to find deeper connections to those fragments of understanding that fill our lives, and wander past the artificially neat 20 images of similar looking work putting on the facade of understanding.
Burbul is a Professor in the Art and Design Department at the University of Nebraska at Kearney teaching foundation arts and photography classes. He resides in the Great Plains of Nebraska, often exploring the spaces from the Great Lakes of the Midwest where he grew up, and Mountains of the American West, and everything in between, asking: how should we best interact with this land?
