“Bygone Bed”
James Burgett, whose work has been featured here, has received a much deserved kudo for his photograph, “Bygone Bed,” now on display as part of the Creative Camera Club’s joint exhibit at Christ Church Cathedral (166 Market Street here in Lexington). Art critic Heather Castro has this to say in the Herald-Leader’s review of the show:
In the Great Room area, unmatted works cross several subject lines, but James Burgett’s Bygone Bed outshines them all. The work depicts a simple iron bed, covered by an antique quilt and illuminated by shadowy lace curtains, back against a crumbling wall. Simple and beautifully done, the work goes beyond exotic, high-intensity coloring to speak in muted tones of family, home and of generations.
I am very excited about this review. I’ve been a great fan of James’s work for years.
“Bygone Bed” was taken with the very Nikon digital camera that I’ve been using lately to post pictures here. That has been James’s other great contribution to this blog. It’s a wonderful camera, out on long-term loan to me. You should see what it can do in the hands of a wonderful photographer. And you should see what James can do with the really, really wonderful camera he bought in its place.
The exhibit, called ‘Seeking Essence Through the Eye of a Camera,’ runs through July 16. Call (859) 254-4497 for information.
