Damon Burnard
MSAE ’08 Art Education
My paintings explore ambiguity: the comfort and tyranny of pattern; the exuberance and stillness of color; the flatness and depth of lines and shapes; the ambivalence of structures ( wrought from brick or thought ); inside and outside; the poetry of Seeing; the interactions at the very edges of things.
