This exhibit features the work of the advanced alumni collective of Susan Burnstine.

“Some artists shoot the world around them; others shoot from within. This group of artists creates from their own worlds, perspectives, and experiences with a clear, consistent intention — a staple of my teaching.

While this collection reflects a diverse spectrum of subjects and processes, the consistency lies in each artist’s unique connection to the work. This connection is not only personal; it is unusual and difficult to replicate in today’s crowded market, as it reflects the distinctiveness of each creator.

Realms of Perception features an exceptional group of artists, all of whom have studied with me for an extended period, either in classes or private mentorships over five years or more. From earning a Guggenheim Fellowship to being named among Photolucida’s Top 50 in Critical Mass, each artist stands out for a truly distinctive vision.

For nine months, members of the Advanced Alumni Workshop worked under my guidance while also participating in monthly reviews with several esteemed members of the photographic community, expanding their knowledge, connections, and clarity of direction.

This collective has become far more than a group of students. They are cherished friends, and it has been an honor to support each of them as they forge new paths of understanding”.
