Rosemary Burn

 

Rosemary Burn is a traditional fine artist whose intention is to make you look at daily visual occurrences with more than a cursory glance and to enjoy the colours, textures and wonder of life.  

"Part of my intention is to make unusual the usual; the  everyday visual experiences which we all encounter and mostly dismiss as unimportant, not worth a second glance. The works are crafted from moments; those snippets of time and from which I can find a story in the background, such as a dripping bath tap and the light carried in the ripples, a fly on the wall, the fleeting expression on a face, a nameless place. It seems to me that these happenings underpin our existence; big events, highs and lows, come and go but the insignificant and fleeting remain and repeat, like a constant hum in the background."
