Like a child creates fantasy worlds through play, I create fictitious worlds that retain certain truths about our reality. I use maps, which are visual representations of our world; I cut out fragments and reconfigure the pieces as if assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Resultant work is a newly mapped out reality that comments on aspects of our world....

An exploration of the ideas around a sense of place has been at the core of my practice. This could be a personal mapping of my surroundings, working with a Parish Council to celebrate its specialness or researching the history of a specific space to create appropriate and meaningful pieces of public art.

The work sets out to articulate a haptic approach to the rediscovery of heterogeneous spaces, their construction and habitation. By means of transversals, the artist-explorer enacts new encounters with the surrounding environment, the potentiality of its functions and the socio-political encryptions residing within it. The artist, as well as the...

Part photograph, part painting, Rosie’s work shows glimpses of realities that slip in and out of focus and deceive the eye. Her work also makes reference to the powerful dialogue between nature, the city and the individual. Floating tower blocks seem sure to crumble at their foundations, symbolising the financial collapse and the fragmentation of...
