Working on Worlds

What do contradictions in cultural landscapes reveal about authenticity? Detroit-based photographer Amelia Burns (@burnstorm ) explores this question and more: “Through my travels across nearly every U.S. state, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.” Featured here are ‘Evil Eye Transmuted onto Organza’ and ‘Evil Eye,’ two works by the artist currently on view in Buffalo Prescott’s 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 2026 exhibition. Opening to the public on Friday, May 22, exhibition visitors are invited to step between the pieces of organza, moving through the work as image, material, and space come into alignment. Learn more about the works on view by tapping the link in bio and RSVP for the exhibition’s public opening later this month. — Featured works: 1) Amelia Burns, ‘Evil Eye Transmuted onto Organza,’ 2026, digital image on organza, steel rods or acrylic, 118 × 124 × 70 1/2 in / 299.7 × 315 × 179.1 cm. 2) Amelia Burns, ‘Evil Eye,’ 2026, digital collage on photo rag, 30 × 36 in / 76.2 × 91.4 cm.
