Biography

Rosie Morris (b.1986) is an artist based in Newcastle, who makes large scale installations, painting, film, photography, print, and sound, in gallery and heritage locations in the UK and internationally. Her background is making site responsive paintings you walk into and around, activating the viewers encounter and awareness of space in relation to the outside world.

Recent work focusses in on the architectural site as a metaphor for the body, as a shelter, interface and archive of caring encounter and memory. These works take the form of immersive installations and miniature sculptures, photographs, and films, resembling dens, wombs, tombs, shrines and votives emblematic of personal nostalgia, embodied gestural knowledge, and the body cared for.

Exhibitions include: 'CHORA', 36 Gallery, Newcastle (2026); Mother Curator, Reid Gallery, Glasgow (2026); ‘GESTURES’, Church of St. John, Healey (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).
