Lenticular Views: Journeys through Time, Space, and Emotions

A new exhibition entitled, Lenticular Views: Journeys through Time, Space, and Emotions will open on Oct. 14, 2015 at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT. The exhibition, featuring new works by Miggs Burroughs, will be curated by artist and designer Gail Ingis-Claus. Lenticular Views will run through January 3^rd with a fundraising reception on Oct. 22, 6-8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for members and $20 for non-members; proceeds will benefit the Museum’s cultural and educational programs.  RSVP by Oct. 16^th.

Mr. Burroughs said, “I am intrigued by all the changes and transitions, real and imagined -through time, space and emotions - that are part of our daily lives.  The lenticular process allows me to explore these experiences in a fresh and somewhat cinematic way. During your time with these unconventional photos, you are enlisted as a collaborator, controlling the speed, sequence, and ultimately, the significance of the changes that occur. These images will only be as meaningful as the stories that you are willing to bring to them.”

Half of this exhibit at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will be comprised of interior and exterior views of this National Historic Landmark from a past perspective, which will change to a current one, as the viewer walks by. The other half of the exhibit will be comprised of more personal lenticular images created by the artist over the past year or two.

Miggs is a 1967 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama in Pittsburgh, PA. He is a lifelong resident of Westport and full-time graphic artist since 1972. He designed a Commemorative U.S. Postage Stamp, an iconic Easter Egg for the Reagans’ White House, and four TIME Magazine covers, one of which, along with the Easter Egg, reside in the Smithsonian Institution.

Recently, he has won much acclaim for his work with lenticular imagery, including several one-man shows in Fairfield County galleries and libraries and Tunnel Vision, his permanent lenticular installation in downtown Westport, has received unanimous raves. www.tunnelvisionart.com

His first book, The What If Book of Questions, published last year was also met with critical acclaim. Burroughs has been twice honored as a Paul Harris Fellow by the Westport Rotary; he has been one of the YMCA’s Faces of Achievement, CLASP of Westport Volunteer of the Year as well as STAR of Norwalk, among others.
