Art making with Burgette

FREE

Dan Burgette was a backcountry ranger in Grand Teton National Park for nearly three decades. During that time, he had many opportunities to observe wildlife. As he did, he started to incorporate his observations in sculpture. His work is primarily focused on birds and their habitat. Burgette is interested in the amazing ways in which birds move through and are masters of air currents. The subjects Burgette addresses in his work include capturing the sense of movement in a bird’s flight and the movement in their immediate environment such as air or water. Using the mixed media of wood, metal, and stone, he gives the illusion of motion. Burgette's work connects viewers with the natural world through the invocation of avian motion and flight. His title of World Champion bird sculptor is a result of his success in capturing the illusion of a bird's speed.
