Caroline Burgess is a British sculptor and installation artist based in London working almost exclusively in textiles. Soft, complex and exhibiting a quiet power, her artworks present intricate emotional landscapes. A ritual wrapping process is an essential part of her practice; repetitive gestures bind the fabric tightly with thread, creating texture and silently embedding emotion into the sculptural forms. In works like ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’ and ‘The Art of Being’ the subtle fragilities in the surface textures and folds that result from the fabric manipulation become the essence of the form. Burgess creates pieces which emanate both strength and vulnerability; a depiction of the feminine. Working in a monochrome palette, her sculptures and installations reflect fleeting memories of desolate landscapes and experiences evoking a sense of stillness and loneliness. And yet they can be hopeful and life affirming.
