Rosie CAMPBELL-MILLER

Rosie Isobel (Rosie Campbell-Miller) is interested in how photography can capture a moment in a way that can never be repeated.  Through transforming these moments with painting, drawing and assemblage, Isobel’s works evoke a sense of fragmentation, memory and narrative.  The division between the external physical being and the internal self is explored through the artist’s personal relationships with others.  Often the subjects in Isobel’s images are her intimates; an awareness of time is present, as through creating these scenes, the artist is attempting to hold on to past and present relationships with a desire to tie together separate beings.  The moment and the personal connection are memorialized through painting.  Figurative, decorative and abstract elements are combined to create ambiguous images that reveal something timeless which photography cannot capture.
