Fruit Flowers

DESCRIPTION

Archival pigment print | 2020

Burke explores soft, warm palettes alongside subtly psychedelic and surreal still-life scenes that transport the viewer into the vague memories of her mind. Her drawings are intricate and heavy handed explorations of objects that the artist can represent, but not tangibly make. Each flower has a kindred living nearby, and each vase could be traced back to someones home, but to whom escapes the artist. The lingering senses of an experience come alive and possibly pull from other memories. Thick swatches of colored pencil reference ink drawdowns, and someone elses paint pallet, but the conglomeration of the hues suspended in imaginary space do more to remind you of an era, than to point to a specific painting. Each drawing is built, and built upon, in a circular fashion, begging the viewer to suspend orientation. Theyre still lives that simply couldn’t exist, but they make you feel like they should.
