WATER is elemental to mammalian existence, without clean water survival is impossible, Rosie has been making work connected to her environmental concern about pollutants in water for almost 2 decades. Rosie is a keen beach go-er living on the Atlantic coast of North Devon, plastics feature on visits - pockets, bags, filled with little bits of plastic. PLASTIC BEACH is an ongoing body of work - connection between net packaging and light light dancing on the surface of the sea, a development of ideas connected to micro plastic scientific marine research slides. Titled with the names of plastics - polythene, PET, nylon etc and the name of a dance - watching the plastic rubbish on the tide is like watching a waltz or tango or rumba. Abstract images - alarming use of complementary colour - alluring, micro- detail, with a dark tale of the microplastics in our global waters. Rosie believes single use plastics should be banned; human blood samples now often have microplastics in them.Try it!
