Bio
Rosie graduated with a BA from The Ruskin School of Art in 2013 and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 2017. Recent exhibitions include 'What the Water Gave Me', a solo show at Quench Gallery, ‘Touch-A-Touch-A-Touch-Me’, a group show at Bernston Bhattacharjee and ‘(Dis)embodied Burdens', a group show at Cooke Latham Gallery.
My making process is physical and all encompassing, focused on my interaction with the materials I am using and the build up of layers. As a conceptual starting point, I am interested in everyday events that might be considered baffling; water as an unexplained substance, the mechanics of pregnancy or the metamorphosis of motherhood. I am interested in how material moments extend out of the power and limitations of language and representational imagery. Text and writing, such as collages of old notebooks, become layers of my work and I experiment with the presence of the body, from literal suggestions to material imprints, imagery or personal belongings. I aim to create considered surfaces that disclose narrative, revealing tiers of time and movement. The cyclical use and reincarnation of material is important to me, I grind down and recycle elements of past installations to use as aggregate that makes up details of future work; rubbled remnants move through my practice as it evolves.
