Hugh Burden

I construct surreal photographic imaginations.
My aesthetic often references cultural and ecological themes. I see landscapes, faces or scenes in the textures, crumblings, and stains on walls; an interplay of pareidolia and serendipity. Pareidolia; the human tendency to seek patterns in random information.
These chance discoveries form the basis of my creative process embodied in the concept 'The Writing Is On The Wall.'

Developing and refining the photographs of the fleeting impressions I try to bring the initial vision to life, expose the narrative.
