Researching groups and communities, in situ, across the country, then drawing in her London studio, Christy Burdock creates works that are based in the here and now, but steeped in philosophy and historical narrative.
Christy has an interest in ideas, religion, history and heritage, communicating and reinterpreting emerging culture, as it manifests within contemporary society. She is absorbed in observing the knots and shoots emerging through collective consciousness, transported from person to person and group to group, finally creating wider culture.
Research is based within museum collections. She refers to historic painting, the work of the old masters and works within the tradition of William Hogarth and Stanley Spencer, both English artists that documented life around them.
