Artist focus: ROSE VICKERS
During the month of August, we will be taking a closer look at Bristol-based creator Rose Vickers as our Artist in Focus! Take a look at the rustic charm of vintage goods that retain their original character, as they’ve been upcycled and transformed into unique works of art that, upon closer inspection, hold a story and a history of times past.
Rose creates large-scale art pieces created from her collection of found and sourced rulers and yardsticks, nearly all coming across the pond in America. She cleans, cuts, and places them together - each wooden piece part of creating a larger, intricate image. Rose’s interest in storytelling can be seen through her work, as well as her delight in patchwork quilts, as each square creates an overall narrative. With the simple, humble nature of her tools, Rose recreates these forgotten items and turns them into intricate patterns guided by the precision of geometry and mathematics.
