Things as They Are: October10, 1994 --- Catherine Burgess (b.1963)
Burgess’ seemingly orderly assemblies of metal and granite reveal her reverence for discipline and rational order. They also disclose her spirit of inquiry and courage to express murkier and unknown elements: the stuff of dreams, intuition and experience. For Burgess, the abstract forms and geometric objects in her sculptural compositions hold specific personal meanings, memories and truths, enabling her to “situate the personal and mundane the infinite and the unknowable.”
