Burdeny, David (landscape)

The work of David Burdeny focuses on the study and exploration of quiet, innocuous spaces at dusk and dawn, where the land is momentarily held, emerging from and receding into darkness. The search for ephemeral moments when space, light, and texture comes together to give pause.

Embedded between the natural and domestic, these landscapes are often found at the periphery of parking lots, highways, urban parks and public beaches. Each day these spaces are made and unmade and one is drawn to them for the weightlessness that lingers after activity ceases. They are charged with an alluring sense of anticipation, of what was and what will be.

The idea of exclusion is central to these images- left behind, left outside, forgotten. They are intentionally vacuous and hollow, devoid of human presence, but clearly touched by it. They contain an element of tension and speak of vulnerability and strength. They are seen as visual metaphors for the struggles we encounter every day.

Being raised on the Canadian prairies, the horizon becomes part of your being. It seems as though everything is organized around it in some small way. Bluffs cling to it, telephone poles pierce it, and trains ride its edge.
