Rosie Leventon

My practice spans across Sculpture Installations Land Art and drawing and painting. 3D work can be permanent or temporary using a broad variety of materials, from indoor materials such as recycled mobile phones, human hair, Celotex and paperback books to more permanent materials such as stone , wood , cast or powder-coated aluminium or concrete. Currently in Lockdown I am making new small pieces of sculpture as par of an ongoing series called Up the Duff. which may refer o vernacular architecture and to my travels in Turkey Lebanon Syria Greece and Morocco.

I often rework familiar domestic objects and architectural features : a doormat, a telephone, suitcases, or a corridor . I have also made a series of floating floors which float in a room full of water.
I also make drawings and paintings which are normally coloured and involve experimenting with different media. Some are proposals for sculpture, and others are drawings or paintings in their own right.
Outdoor commissions include work made for parks, woods gardens museums etc. They are site responsive and may include a feature which is of use to animals and birds, such as to provide a a source of water.
