Rose's artistic practice begins with the study and research of parallel places and ecosystems. She observes and identifies how they mirror each other’s function and form, and how, through their similarities are able to exhibit uniqueness. Studying these sites is especially important in the face of climate change, as highly sensitive places like islands and alpine areas become more vulnerable to fluctuating temperatures, rising lake and sea levels, impacting the survival of flora and fauna in these vulnerable landscapes. Referencing her experiences traveling through altitudinal zones to alpine areas, and across latitudinal lines, Rose creates work which connects geographically disconnected landscapes focusing on their shared ecologies: how each site is connected through climatic shifts, soil qualities, and habitat range. Rose works with copper, wood, and light sensitive materials to create limited edition works on paper, assemblages, and installations. Utilizing the printed multiple, she simultaneously constructs and deconstructs each piece she works with. With each new layer, she has the capability to alter her work through sequence and omission to reveal elements she wants to emphasize. Her process references her subjects: the interconnectedness of global ecosystems, anthropogenic alterations made to the landscape, and naturally occurring changes within our environment.
