“I have known Rosie since she was a student on the Fine Art Sculpture Course at the Slade School of Fine Art. I was one of her tutors. Rosie distinguished herself as an artist of imagination and innovation. Rosie informed herself through developing a sound knowledge of contemporary and recent art which she used to enhance her creative activity intelligently and questioningly. Her work involves diverse technical and material processes which engage with and question conventional ideas of sculpture. She has developed a simple formal aesthetic and has pushed her work to evermore clear and simple conclusions in increasingly physical ways.”

“Rosie Mortimers’ work is both quiet and intriguing. It resonates with you long after you have experienced it. Through the manipulation of often mundane materials she creates visual poetry.”
