Cristina Burns - Through the Mirror

THROUGH THE MIRROR

A combination of sweet and macabre elements are the motif behind my series “Through the Mirror”. They provide an improbable, but yet cohesive narrative, meticulously arranged in symmetrical geometries that evoke the supernatural, in an atmosphere of sweet decadence.

I remember that as a child I was fascinated with illustrations in old science books and in a “Cabinet of Curiosities”. I adore collecting toys, skeletons, insects, and forgotten objects that I find in flea markets. I like to think that there is a story to be told behind their shapes, functions, and purposes, giving truth to their souls.
