DESCRIPTION

Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022

This set of prints from Laura Burke has many things in common. The works in Tabletop are all intentionally chaotic compositions, filled to the brim with imaginary fruit and flowers — and the element that tethers each piece to reality is a table. For Summer, she pictured a bird’s eye view over a table of freshly cut flowers, a small majolica dish, and various fruit awaiting organization. She imagined Veritable Picnic as the most aesthetically pleasing mess she could manage, the table to the left has a Pierre Bonnard inspired tablecloth, casting a shadow onto the elements of the meal below. This series continues with themes from Burke’s other work, pointing to memory and the mixing of outdoor and indoor spaces. She considers the table as a structural element to keep the viewer attached to the real world. It’s familiar, and even though it’s somewhat hidden in Eye Wish and Early Lunch, you can still spot it.

“I view the objects I draw as characters in a scene that the viewer is seeing by accident. They’re lovers and friends, playing out intimate moments that I hope can be related to.”
