The work of Rachel Rose explores how our changing relationship to landscape has shaped storytelling and belief systems. Rose’s films draw from and contribute to the long history of cinematic innovation; whether investigating cryogenics, the American Revolutionary War, or an astronaut’s spacewalk, Rose directs our attention to sites and histories in which the sublime and the everyday blur. She translates this in her paintings, sculptures, and drawings, which materially reverberate with one another, connecting the immediate to deep time.
