Burning Desk
crossover - sculpture - drawing - zine - artistic research
Burning Desk is a full-time illustrator and independent publisher based in Rotterdam making works about life and humans. With a love for (visual) books and as an indie publisher under the name: Burning Desk Books, she is building an inclusive platform for artists from minority groups with a focus on makers of color who (want to) publish books. This to promote their works, give them a platform and share valuable information about the self-publishing community. Burning Desks illustration works are inspired on sensitive and social subjects like; human behavior/interaction, equality, climate change, mass production/consumption and animal cruelty. She is highly fascinated by how we as humans are affecting our surroundings and how this affects our earth, mental health and the way we treat each other. Via her works Burning Desk tries to deal with and reflect on the things she doesn't agree with or understand. Her main goals are to spread more awareness about the subjects above to start an open conversation, and to gain world peace of course LOL.
