'Absence of Being' is a haunting, intensely personal, yet universal exploration of the subconscious world, which began with Susan Burnstine’s first, highly praised monograph, 'Within Shadows' (2011).
Burnstine’s creative journey began at the age of four, when she began to suffer from debilitating night terrors. Each morning, her mother encouraged her to try to neutralize the frightening images by reinterpreting them into some positive form of art.
