Rosalie Gascoigne’s Art Practice

Rosalie Gascoigne’s Metropolis (1999) is one of her signature artworks. Similar to most of her other work, Gascoigne has compromised her work to include an array of ready-mades and re-cycled materials, in this particular one she has used: retro reflective road signs on wood. Like most contemporary artists Gascoigne does not conform to any official methodology or process. However it is apparent that she has a very selective technique assemblage system. From her work we can also conclude that she circulates her work with a grid like method and relies on right angles. Prior to creating her work she goes out into her surrounding environment and rummages out objects as potential art material. Inevitably one can conclude that Gascoigne art making is unique, personal and intimate.
