Brogan Burke is a British interdisciplinary artist and a graduate of Wrexham University, holding both an MA in Art Interdisciplinary Practice and a BA in Fine Art. Brogan challenges viewers to consider how architecture and the use of space can evoke emotional responses, ultimately questioning the role of design in our experiences of loss.

Reflecting on her own grieving experiences, She uses found materials to create site-specific sculptures that are intimately linked to the memories of her family that she has lost. This process embodies the interplay between architecture and grief, illustrating how both are subject to cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal. Much like the built environment, grief is not static; it evolves, continuously reshaped by our personal experiences and emotions. The buildings and spaces we inhabit transform over time, and with them, our memories of those places evolve as well. These changes can deeply influence the way we experience grief, as the physical spaces we associate with people or moments of loss no longer exist in the same way. In Brogan’s practice, film photography plays a crucial role, capturing snippets in time that resonate with the power of memory and underscore their significance in our lives. The still and motion-filled photographs encapsulates the feeling of being frozen in time while the world moves on. Grief is the experience of being in-between, the uncertainty or disorientation.
