Steve Burnett

“As a farmer here in our mountains, and as a grandchild of farmers in Iowa, this idealized image captures one of the many moments lost to the day. They say, if you don’t re-think a memory after several years, it’s gone. This work is part of a series that brings back forgotten stories and impressions made over 60 years ago. Drawing, as a language, seems to live in a place brain scientist haven’t studied yet.”
