‘My work makes vessels for words — through documentation, distribution, recitation and ritual — stray words I am led to in tangents come with me into projects.’

A collection of divine tangents as part of Rose’s on-going exploration of Southeast Asian ritual practices and the language and materials that ground them.

Through animistic and Islamic melting of myth found in Southeast Asian invocations and rituals that centre paper, tin and limestone; Rose works to produce matter that communes in a space between language, technology and magic.
