Caroline Burton resides in Aotearoa, New Zealand, where she creates abstract artworks using a range of mediums, including wool, silk fibres, paint and stitch. Burton’s artwork explores relationships between the physical world and spiritual experience. She works intuitively to give body to the unseen world as she perceives it and voice to the impact on both realms, resulting from our unchecked use of resources.
Often drawing on her Mining Engineering degree, career in mineral process engineering and interest in geological forms, Burton expresses a holistic attitude toward our role in the dynamic between the physical and the intangible. Through materiality and ethereal form, her work suggests the potential for us to gain awareness of the intersection between the two.
Burton has exhibited throughout Aotearoa, including the Estuary Arts and Ecology Award Finalists Exhibition at Uxbridge Arts, the Walker and Hall Waiheke Art Awards, Finalists Exhibition and a number of solo and group exhibitions.
