ROSIE MORRIS

Gestures


Church of St. John, Healey, Northumberland


In her 2024 exhibition GESTURES, Newcastle-based artist Rosie Morris explores experiences of care in relation to the body as a site of touch and shelter, through the lens of ‘daughtering’. This concept investigates the circular relationship between parent and child and how the threads of intergenerational care become entangled with one another. Taking the form of soft sculptures and prints onto aluminium, Morris’s works have a tenderness and familiarity that convey a sense of gentle nostalgia, and speak to the yearning, grasping feeling of fading memories; a fragile thing you want to hold onto.
