Tyler Burton is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Based in the Coachella Valley and Los Angeles, she investigates how human intervention becomes embedded in the landscape - materially, historically, and psychologically. Her work centers on the tension between seduction and consequence, examining how convenience, extraction, and protection leave lasting physical traces.

Through monumental concrete strata, salvaged wildfire remnants, and altered landscapes shaped by water diversion and glacial retreat, she engages materials that carry evidence of damage and endurance. In Fossils of the Future, she embeds and casts single-use plastics within monolithic forms resembling archaeological core samples, positioning contemporary waste as a future artifact. In Artifacts of a Fire, charred tree trunks are raised and partially encased in steel, exploring vulnerability, resilience, and the human impulse to shield what remains. Her ongoing water-based works consider sites of recession and transformation, where absence itself becomes a visible presence.

Burton's work has been exhibited at institutions including the American Museum of Ceramic Art and the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. A forthcoming solo exhibition, Evidence of Us, will open at the San Bernardino County Museum in 2026. She holds an BFA from Brooks Institute of Photography and has completed six residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and one at Buffalo Creek Art Center. Her work is held in national and international collections.
