Rosemary Burd is a self taught artist who mixes photography with embroidery, and embroidery with found objects to create her art. What began as a fascination with running stitch and sashiko embroidery has developed into a stitching practice that is equal parts exploration and meditation. Rosemary explores colour and texture in her stitched portals, created with layers of reverse applique, and her textile bricolages, constructed from found objects and repurposed fabrics. Her jerky iPhone photographs, which capture the dappled light of sunlight streaming though trees, are embellished with lustrous silk thread to amplify the blurred interplay of movement, light and colour. Rosemary has exhibited across Canada, and has been published in Photo Ed magazine (digital edition), The Hand magazine, and Surface Design Association’s annual Exhibition in Print.
