Artist BIO
Kathy Rose creates her own animated, film and video projections intricately integrating herself within them in live performance to create a fascinating poetic "alternate universe".
"a genuinely original, consistently startling synthesis of movement, film and sound...The final moment in She, with Rose's silvery, new-found wings held aloft on shadow puppet sticks by her insect assistants, is one of the most truly strange images I can remember seeing on a stage...It was during her Precious Metals that I began wondering if Rose is really some pagan high priestess exiled to the world of contemporary art." - Philadelphia Inquirer

VIDEO SYNOPSYS
This piece represents a kind of autobiographical vision. I use myself to create all the figures, sometimes employing masks from the Noh theater to vary my persona.
A sea of richly colored figures floating and flying are accompanied by eerie sounds. The animated figures are constructed in the manner of puppetry and collage. The imagery continues until the artist’s involvement with her “canvases” is revealed, with her performative self finally emerging. |
