"This work is an ongoing exploration into the representation and structuring of the passage of time. My background as a composer and performer has contributed to a sense that art can be founded in the shape and flow of experience from moment to moment, whether in the aural or visual world."

– Eric Burns

About the artist

Eric Burns

Eric Burns is an artist and musician based in New York City. Growing up in Prescott, Arizona, Burns studied jazz improvisation with master potter Heath Krieger, which led to a rich musical career on the East Coast. His sense of structural aesthetics spread into the visual dimension in 2015 with his abstracted calendars, an extension of his work as a composer and arranger using shape and color rather than pitch and rhythm to create meaning in the passing of time.

His studio practice centers on designing and hand-crafting pieces based on important dates in the lives of his clients while he maintains a presence on the music scene, touring far and wide with Kaleta & Super Yamba Band.
