- About this work
-
This work made from humble found materials evokes passing clouds and the transience of natural phenomena. Rosalie Gascoigne often used objects she collected from the countryside, or everyday materials that had been discarded, in her work. The metaphysical quality she is able to imbue in these objects enables her to, as she articulated it, ‘capture the “nothingness” of the countryside, those wide open spaces … the great Unsaid … the silence that often only visual beauty transcends’.
