Kent Burkhardsmeier – Photography & Poetry
Artist Statement
Like nature, my body of photographic artwork and poetic writings is a collective of life and stories—living, thriving, and breathing together.
Nature draws me outside—away from the computer, office, TV, and my dwellings. At the same time, nature invites me inside to recharge my well-being, delve into my emotions, contemplate my thoughts, and cultivate my creativity.
When I am outdoors with a camera, I’m called to surroundings that touch my heart. I’m moved to compose an image that captures my felt experience. Back in the studio with my images, I am inspired to create poems. I feel nature "whisper" her story, in poetic form, through the image and its linked experience. Whispers are my creative conversations with nature.
I strive to capture the essence of nature in both my photographic art and poetic writing.
