Angela Burson's perspective on art emphasizes the unexpected and the supernatural, suggesting that simple ideas can evolve into profound expressions of memory and emotion.
In discussing her work, Burson notes, 'When I start a new painting I'm not sure where it's going to take me. Sometimes an item or simple idea will take on a life of its own.' This speaks to her emphasis on spontaneity and evolution in her artistic process.
Her piece, Ghost Feet, illustrates how personal stories and memories influence her creations: 'I began with two pairs of feet in a hallway... I decided to turn the feet into a ghost.' This highlights the blend of the ordinary and the supernatural.
Burson explains the inception of Palm Reader: 'I quickly sketched two people engaged in a palm reading on a panel but left it untouched for almost a year. It became the painting Palm Reader.' This reflects the long gestation period and inspiration behind her art.
