You are warmly invited to the opening of the photography solo exhibition ‘Process’ by Andrew Burns. Opening Friday, 27 March 2026, 6pm to 7:30pm.
‘Process is important to me because I feel the need to be physically involved in an act of creation, the act itself is as much the art to me as the final print, and the process followed to create the print leaves an indelible mark. I think that the desire for my work to exist in the physical world and to be experienced in person is a rejection of the trends towards increasingly removing people from the process of photography and art in general. Everything I do is visibly hand-made and unique by virtue of that.
The process used in the creation of these prints lends them an organic feel, low contrast and smooth tones blending from warm in the highlights to cool in the shadows. The lower contrast, lifted blacks and smoothed-out detail tend to give the prints a timeless quality, they remind me of artefacts from a natural history museum. To that end the photos I've chosen to print are artefacts of the world that I've lived in, dispassionate records of things and places. Each print is intended to stand on its own as an artefact and although they don't necessarily tell a story in the conventional sense, the collection still feels cohesive, drawn together through process.’ – Andrew Burns 2026
On show 27 March to 12 April 2026. Everyone is welcome!
