Rosemary Burn
Rosemary Burn masterfully captures everyday scenes, imbuing objects with a quiet dignity of their own. What we might consider mere ingredients – vegetables, the fruits of a harvest, or an un-minced garlic bulb – hold their own resonances and beauty. Burn pays careful attention to their sculptural forms and delectable colours; lest we forget, the fruits of our labour are also the gifts of nature. And for Burn these natural objects can come up against the man-made in comedic ways, as she shows a cat pawing at electrics or focuses on a Coke bottle refracting light. Through developing an impressionist-realist style, she depicts the truth of these forms with a lightness of touch and singular focus.
