Rosie Burns
Rosie is inspired by light and life, her work can be broadly split into two - the figure and the landscape, although fleeting encounters with a scene or scenario also generates work Rosie produces. Helicoidal pattern within composition connects a lot of her work - the spiralling form of the universe, DNA, shells, surf, clouds, can be found in a lot of her work. Rosie has always been concerned with the human condition – interaction with the environment, she has developed an ongoing series of woodcut prints concerned with observations and muse into the effects of consumption on the planet. Representation of the human form is an ongoing preoccupation - gender, the association of gender roles, femininity, masculinity and its depiction in Art. Rosie's prolific - she has a large portfolio of work, a lot of it can be seen on her website www.rosieburnsartist.com
