Tiger’s Eye
“Inspired by a diverse range of sources, including Incan and Mayan art, Bauhaus design, and Russian constructivism, Burgess’s “Tiger’s Eye” series of collages cannot help but create a lexicon of both cosmos and microcosm, Elemental shapes—circles, semicircles—resonate as moon phases, tree rings, raindrops. Triangles imply mountain ranges, calligraphic teeth, arrows. Shape isn’t just decorative; it’s symbolic. The simultaneous exploration of both internal and external landscapes, the work suggests, is both necessary and synergistic.”
-Katherine Larson
“Lucid, exhilarating, and deeply meditative, the visual language of the “Tiger’s Eye” series reveals itself through iteration. As if peering through a set of breathtaking windows, each pieces cannot help but delight the eye while also provoking the imagination.”
-Katherine Larson
Tiger’s Eye consists of 27 stunning color reproductions of unique ink on paper collages created by the artist and combined into one immaculate soft-bound volume designed by Robert Gallerani with a following essay written by Katherine Larson. The first printing consists of 100 trade copies.
