Mollie Burke’s work explores the processual impulses of spilling, overflow, and excess in relation to structures of framing, containment and confinement. Through staging events of movement and motion on substrates such as canvas, walls, floors, and space, her work expands abstract painting into a dimensional interrogation of absence and fragmentation. By referencing and mixing histories of expressionist and hard edged painting with the poetics of light and space, her work provides a mapping of embodied affect along with entangled modes of perceiving.
