Iterations: A solo exhibition by Erin Elyse Burns

Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition Iterations February 27 through April 10, 2025. This exhibition features photography and video works by Seattle, WA based artist Erin Elyse Burns.

Enter this exhibition as a book of divination, a consecrated instruction manual. Within its contents find no explanations, only unanswerable questions.
We are making meaning together.

Does imaging the deathly bring us closer to life?
Can I let go of attachment while holding on to my ego?
How can repetition transform consciousness?
Will dissolving the self give me a sense of belonging?
What color is the sacred?

Iterations is a solo exhibition by lens-based interdisciplinary artist Erin Elyse Burns that brings several bodies of work into conversation with each other. They whisper about material abstraction and obsession. They make clear that the volume of internal quiet is in fact deafeningly loud. Held gently in the palm of a thoughtful hand, each idea is turned over, examined, turned over again and again. In the process they are polished into poignant exhaustion. Call these tumbled stones photographs, video, performance art, relics. Each artifact is interconnected and each line distinct.
