Artist Statement: Gabriel’s work stems from the intersection of ecology and queer
identity, and the parallel frameworks they provide for resisting rigid
categories, binary distinctions, and expected outcomes. Burgeon examines
the notion that transformation does not require resolution. The work
draws inspiration from natural processes of growth and consumption, and
the way they blur the boundaries between organism and environment,
individual and collective. Constructing clay forms through an extended
process of repetition and accumulation, pattern and deviation, Gabriel’s
work explores the idea that to be in flux is not to be incomplete.
