Thresholds

Monotype prints on silk, stretched on aluminum

The Threshold series is a collection of works that are shaped like doors or windows. They stand freely in space, acting as fragments of architecture, creating boundaries and structures. Where there would be empty space, these portals are filled with gestures, as if to give form to atmosphere. The light sensitive and transparent silk act as filters to the surrounding environment.



They have appeared in the exhibitions :

Exhibition text :

Mollie Burke’s work explores states of affect, the experience of self and place, and the notion of networks. She creates archives from online digital texts and collected waste, bringing them into dialogue through diverse techniques. Currently in residence at Fiminco in Romainville, she continues her methodical gathering of objects during wanderings through peripheral, transforming areas, as well as post-industrial and construction sites. Abandoned consumer packaging is reworked through print processes, its trace transferred onto silk fabric. Their presence, and the histories they carry, emerge subtly, like a watermark or palimpsest.

Le travail de Mollie Burke explore les états d’affects, le sentiment de soi et de lieu, et la notion de réseau. Elle crée des archives à partir de textes numériques en ligne et de déchets glanés, qu’elle met en relation dans des pièces selon diverses techniques. Elle effectue actuellement une résidence à Fiminco, à Romainville. A cette occasion, elle poursuit ses collectes méthodiques d’objets au cours d’errances dans des zones périphériques, en transformation, et sur des sites post-industriels ou de construction. Les emballages de consommation abandonnés sont transformés par le processus de l’impression et leur trace est reportée sur un tissu en soie. Leur présence et l’histoire qu’ils charrient se laisse lire en filigrane.
