Susan Burnstine
PHOTOSNACK #838
Susan Burnstine’s work feels like stepping into a dream you can’t fully explain—blurred, haunting, and deeply emotional, with images that seem to come from memory, fear, and the subconscious all at once.
What I love is that this atmosphere never feels artificial; even though she builds many of her own cameras and lenses, the photographs still feel incredibly personal and fragile, as if they were discovered rather than staged.
You can join Susan at the upcoming online symposium organized by Santa Fe Workshops (details below).
Until next time,
Tomasz
A big thank you to Santa Fe Workshops for supporting PHOTOSNACK.
Susan Burnstine moderates the online abstract symposium, Blur in Photography: Perception, Memory, and the Act of Seeing, produced by Santa Fe Workshops. Joined by three internationally recognized artists: Valda Bailey, Bill Armstrong, and Céline Bodin, whose work utilizes blur as an intentional and expressive photographic language, inviting emotion, memory, intuition, and subjective experience into the photographic frame.
Whether you are newly curious about blur in photography or already immersed in experimental or abstract practice, this online event invites you to slow down, see differently, and consider blur not as a loss of clarity, but as a space of expansive possibility.
