At the root of Celia Burbush’s wide-ranging practice is a fascination with change. Through painting, textiles, film and paper-casting, Celia plays with the symbols of collapse and renewal, incorporating signs of aging and fragmentation as well as processes of future-thinking and fantasy.
To Celia, painting is a form of dialogue, a site of metamorphosis, a microcosm of the external world. For inspiration, she visits disused mines and quarries within nature reserves, places synonymous with both collapse and renewal. They are also chosen for their viscerality and sense of separateness from reality, somewhat akin to painting itself.
Celia Burbush is represented in the north of England by Fulton’s Lakes Jewellery Works, and The Makers Mill . New work based on her Remembering Macabea project, will be shown in the forthcoming group exhibition 'De Cadere' curated by Seren Shaw.
