Katarina Rose creates imaginary worlds, triggered by human traces seen within the natural and urban environment. She combines found objects, old photographs, text, taxidermy and collage with her own sculpted and painted forms. She often invents characters and writes short stories to accompany the works. Katarina Rose is inspired by everything around her all the time, and likes to stitch together links between seemingly random ideas to form her own symbolic visual language. Many of her works are contained within objects such as boxes, suitcases, biscuit tins and radios, though she now also works with internal and external spaces on a much larger scale.
