Rosie Rawson (London, born 1991) graduated from the University of Brighton with a BA Hons in Fine Art Printmaking in 2014. She has since worked in various school settings, supporting young people with their learning and well-being. In 2016, Rosie studied Creative Arts Education at the University for the Creative Arts where she began to align her creative practice with her personal and professional experience of navigating health, neurodiversity, and inclusion within education. In 2023 she was selected for the competitive Arts & Health Hub mentorship programme to work with sector-leading artist Sonia Boue.
Memory is traditionally conceived as a discrete phenomenon; however, emerging theories of thought describe the nature of memory as transmutable and flowing. Inspired by memory as a fluid process, my work playfully explores a re-membering of the experiences of chronic illness and PTSD.
To retrieve memories, I scan childhood linens and photographs. I bounce the images back and forth between digital and analogue processes. To reorganise and rewrite the memories, I layer and weave the manipulated scans, using methods such as sewing, collage, and digital manipulation. I create material illusions to suspend the image, and embodied memory, between the past and present. The process is recursive, images are printed, scanned and reprinted - memories, prints and textiles re-collected.
