Patricia is particularly interested in the hidden narrative in overlooked or changing parts of the built landscape. Her current series of work deals with the subject of home, and the mysterious and unknowable element of other people's homes. It considers the deep human need for home and is informed by a sense of time passing. Patricia Burns lives and works in Cork. She studied at the Dublin Institute of Technology in Fine Art and the Crawford College of Art & Design, Patricia has enjoyed residencies at both Ballinglen Arts Foundation and Cill Rialaig. Her work has been featured in solo shows at the R.H.A.'s Ashford Gallery, Droichead Arts Centre, South Tipperary Art Centre, the Courthouse Arts Centre in Co. Wicklow, and the Catherine Hammond Gallery. Her paintings are included in the collections of the A.I.B. Bank, Office of Public Works and the Ballinglen archives. 'Patricia Burns speaks to us from the twilight zone of remembrance and exile. Her haunting images are a technical triumph. The subject matter and the handling of it is unique and highly disciplined. Anyone who sees this work will be impressed by its uncompromising vision, its certainty of home comings, its prodigious promise of a definition of home that transcends geography and crosses generations.' * * From remarks by Thomas McCarthy at the opening of the exhibition, 'Redemption Road' at Cork City Archives as part of Art Trail 2007, Monday, 1st October 2007
