Rosie Morris (b.1986) is an artist based in Newcastle, who makes installations in gallery and heritage locations in the UK and internationally. Her background is making site responsive art work that explores how we experience architectural atmospheres in order to access bodily memory and feeling.
Recent work moves away from the specific histories and aesthetics of a building, exploring the body as site and shelter by creating womb-like den spaces to access emotions relating to ‘daughtering’, memory and loss. These works take the form of miniature and large scale soft sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints and films, resembling dens, wombs, tombs and objects emblematic of personal nostalgia, gesture, and the body cared for.
Exhibitions include: ‘GESTURES’ (2024), ’In / out / of this world’, commission for Expanded Interiors Re-Staged, Hatton Gallery, Newcastle (2021); ‘Notes on Navigating Space’, collaboration with Taryn Edmonds, Artlacuna, London (2017); ‘Circles are Slices of Spheres’, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle (2016-17); ‘COME TO DUST’, Generator Projects, Dundee (2016); Proyector International Video Art Festival, Quinta del Sordo, Madrid, Spain (2015); 55 Westgate Road // Dreamers, Newcastle (2015); ‘Phase’, collaboration with Sam Grant, The Castle Keep, Newcastle (2014); and ‘Shifting Dimensions’ commission for Art, Villes & Paysage Festival’, Amiens, France (2014).
