Implied Metaphor by Brianna Burnett, a series of diminutive images of fruit and vegetables, is on display at Studio 106B in the Blue Star Arts Complex, which is normally Alba de Leon’s working studio. Alba generously opens up her studio to different artists, allowing them to show their work in her space.

A recent transplant to San Antonio, Brianna went to respectable efforts trying to find a space to show her work as soon as she learned of the FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA Festival. We appreciate and favor her level of personal enterprise, common sense, and cordial manner. Plus, even though still a young artist, Brianna has an interesting, well integrated body of work.

In her words: My work revolves around storytelling. I find delight in the layers of mythology, and the idea of a memory transforming into a story retold, with countless artifacts full of narratives waiting to be illustrated. My images reconsider the myths and folklore that surround our references to food.
