‘The Weather and What Is’ makes central a lesbian experience within a world shaped by dualisms—mind/body, nature/culture, windy/still, useful/redundant, productive/wasted, man/woman, hetero/not. Printmaking, photography and sculptural materials hold subject Burgess’ garden as kin, alongside her body.

Full, generous, focused, and sensual, ‘The Weather and What Is’ opens space for a re-imagining of intimacy, ecology, history, and embodiment beyond dominant cultural frames.
