Stephen Burt, M.F.A., associate professor of art in the School of Arts and Humanities, will be displaying his work in the upcoming show 鈥淕argantua and Lilliputian鈥 at Cove Street in Portland, a multi-media space celebrating Maine's storied place in American art history.

Through his work, Burt explores the historical documentation of entomological specimens. But, his presentation begs the question, 鈥淎re these real or imagined?鈥

鈥淰iewing the arc of my career it is an indisputable fact that nature, both real and imagined, represents the core of my interest and practice,鈥 Burt explained. 鈥淢y goal has always been to create work, that through the use of symbol and technique, has visionary significance to the viewer. In place of mirroring the world as it is, I would rather create a kind of reality rich with analogies. One thing may be many things.鈥

鈥淕argantua and Lilliputian鈥 is an exhibition of large and small prints that runs from April 1 through May 15.
