Rose is a multi-disciplinary artist, presently focusing on handmade and self-designed jewellery installations. As an individual of Australia’s large South Asian diaspora, Rose explores her experience being raised within the Northern Rivers (NSW) community as an young Indian immigrant. Documenting her journey through jewellery, Rose narrates her adolescent interactions with identity, culture, and diasporic emotions.
Using her chosen mediums such as jewellery, painting, pottery, and, writing Rose has been navigating her own challenges, emotions and cultural unlearning over the past five years.
Engaging thematics of identity and belonging, Rose’s current project within her Masters of Fine Art presents a physical manifestation of her current status in context of her cultural identity. Influenced by South Asian architecture, floral motifs, textiles, traditions, and rituals the artist provides her work as a realm of cultural intersection between her western surroundings and her native heritage.
