Global change • Science communication

Burko locates her practice at the intersection of art and science.

Her concern for the future of our environment and issues of climate change led her to develop series of ongoing projects, developing visual strategies in paintings and photography that use historical comparisons of global glacial change through repeat photography, Landsat maps, and other visual data to help explain Earth science to the public. Her work confronts issues of geological and chronological time—past, present, and future.
