For Counter Editions, Burton chose to produce the cover image from his forthcoming book 'Dreamland' (Powerhouse, November 2000). Standing in puddles of discarded underwear, twinned legs tower overhead. Rising above the tiled plinths of this sprinkler-fed Eden the unidentified figures stand like sexual collossi guarding the gates of a latter-day Rhodes. Here the LA that Burton chooses to identify becomes a seductive and comic image of modern ruin - where ancient gods have become the shooting stars of another recherché celebrity.
