About Rosie

Inspired by the natural and infinite sculpting of Earth’s landscape, Rosie creates tactile sculptures called Terraforms. As eons of water gradually sculpt rocks, she sculpts smoothed recessions that mimic these geological processes and the passage of time. 

"I push and tap on a hollow pod to shape peaks and valleys. Rotating the form within my hand is similar to the act of holding a stone and connecting to the earth. My aim is to produce a moment for mindfulness, transcribe my journey, and feel the calm of creation."

She received her B.F.A. from UNC-Asheville, where she devised her micaceous surface treatment. Wading in the mountain stream beds, she picked each shining flake of mica out of the clear water. 

"I was reminded of my barefoot days in the creek behind my childhood home. The result is a fossil, embedded with my experience as a North Carolinian and the imprint left in me in return."
