Rosie McLean is a process-led artist based between Oxford and London who makes sculptures, costume, installation and textile works.

She makes things as a means of psychic survival, carving out space to hang out with (un)conscious and libidinal forces; a space to play, to look again and endure in, to relate non-dualistically with the in/visible, in/attention, wholeness / fragmentation, growth / death, desire / fear, escapism / preoccupation, specificity / abstraction, flesh / affect.
 
She beads, weaves, burns, melts, smashes, embroiders, tears, plays, collages, doodles, arranges, photographs, grows, gathers, collaborates and reads stories in clouds, wax, dreams, water and many other things. 

Often she uses DIY processes and works with repurposed, sustainably sourced materials, choice conspiring with chance encounters to destabilise hierarchies of amateurism and mastery, waste and value.
 
She welcomes collaboration, and has worked with practitioners across disciplines such as photography, sound, performance, film, ritual and permaculture. 
 
Her work has been supported nationally and internationally.
