The permanence and presence of textiles and printmaking throughout history deeply resonate with me as an artist. My work is my way of paying homage to the work of those before me, and to the natural life we have been given on earth.
Convalescence alludes to various stages in the healing process, particularly in women. Each represent tension and portray a personal relationship to the model and their journals. Feel the tightness in the room. Forge a connection.
In a room full of gradual recovery, are you careful?
Do you watch where you step or keep your hands to yourself

This large-scale sequential work recasts reality to communicate distortions of a recollection. The narrative follows a prosaic formative moment in my childhood that I only remember a certain amount of. I am interested in exploring the foreboding sense of the world that comes with childhood and how that can be visually translated.
Hello, I am Max Burge. Welcome to the show. Did you enjoy the complementary cheese?
My motivation for creating this body of work comes from my interest in functional vessels and traditional ceramic items such as plates, bowls, and cups. I really admire the idea that something I made with my own hands could be a part of someone’s everyday life or have a place in their home. I am interested in making a personal connection between myself as the maker of the object and the user of each individual piece.
