AND: Josh Winegar's Burst a Part / Burst Apart is a body of work that employs the act of photographing personally significant sites from my life/memory and then rupturing those images with the basic material of photographic work, light.

Pressed by gravity against this surface, insects overwhelm the picture plane. In the plant photographs, the glass takes on a more active, destructive role, shifting and flattening dense groups of plant life, making their forms increasingly two-dimensional.
