Biography
Cambridge, UK based artist and lecturer Tiina Burton delves into unknowns. She has worked with scientists to create artistic responses to their cutting-edge research, alongside collecting sensory experiences to help her understand the nature of reality. Her current focus is an exploration of attention over time, space and matter through walking. The repetitive labour of step after step, one foot after the other has left traces throughout her work in numerous ways; from the stippling of ink on bromoil prints, the casts of erosion caused by repeated human traffic, to repetitive landscape forms in a multitude of materials and rhythmic waves of sound. Tiina’s work has been collected and exhibited internationally, and she has published two books of fine art photography.
