This week I found the work of Rosalie Gascoigne (1917-1999). I love the soft washed out, white washed, sea washed qualities of this artists work that are like a mosaic of sea treasure or a jigsaw of driftwood.
I feel rather slack not introducing you and other blogging friends to her earlier... but now you have. Her room full installations evoke the lightness of air and land around Canberra (I am also originally from the capital) and she became known during her yellow road sign assemblage period. Seeing them evokes so much about the land of Oz. We love her.
I'm glad you found her! She was an incredible woman - she lived in the mountains outside Canberra (Aust.) where I'm from. A real inspiration..
