Sex Tower
1998
A frenetic architectural sketch rendered in ink and felt tip pen on lined paper, with Tipp-Ex corrections revealing the artist's restless process of revision. Burden's raw, hand-drawn tower surges upward with an obsessive, almost manic energy, the humble notebook paper grounding the phallic grandeur of the structure in something intimate and unpolished. The use of everyday correction fluid alongside bold linework speaks to the work's spontaneous, unmediated quality, blurring the line between blueprint and doodle.
