Empty House #25, Montana (2003), archival pigment print, edition 1 of 20, signed, framed. Wendy Burton explores abandoned and decaying structures as subjects for her photographic archaeology of the not so distant past in American civilization. In Tema Celeste, Shana Nys Dambrot wrote, "...these are undeniably compelling subjects, saturated in a sort of rural collapse...yet the morbid lyricism of Burtons' tone is suggestive rather than judgmental...[their] meaning built on cobwebs and ghost stories."
