Through her practice and research, Rose is interested in the publication as a site of exchange and collaboration, print technologies as tools for union, and letterforms as modes of magic. As a designer, Rose primarily makes artist books and printed matter. This extends to exhibition and custom-type design.
Please tell us about yourself
I am an artist and graphic designer working with expanded notions of publishing, considering the book as a portal, letterforms as talismans and publishing as ritual knowledge production.
Through publication and type design, flag making, installation and metalwork I am interested in printed and material language for governance and devotion.
I am currently based in London as a peer artist at Metroland Studios. I was previously Artist in Residence at Jan Van Eyck Academie (NL) and Somerset House Studios (UK). I have worked as a Research Associate at iniva (UK), Social Practice Fellow at the University of Chicago (USA) and am an associate lecturer at the University of Arts London.
