Burton's current practice uses a home-made laser scanner to convert the matter plane into a 3D digital source, the resulting wireframe landscape transforms the matter drawing in perceived scale, space and structural awareness of the digital plane that we then encounter; where a small scale can become infinite and information becomes lost or exploded through the blind spots formed through the process.
“The laser scan is a way of making a rubbing, an indelible impression extrapolated from the world and regurgitated as a drawing artefact frozen in time.”
'Skin Clock' takes its starting point from a tiny piece of 'root matter' excavated from the earth. The glass-fibre form echoes the contours of the matter's topography, the projected surface gradually animates creating a morphology of the texture showing an emerging surface reality. The sculpture hovers as an archaeological find, picturing the future of the world as artefact.
