Staff Profile
Background
(b.1986, Nottingham, UK) Morris makes work that explores the production of atmosphere and spatial experience through specific architectures. Her practice animates architectural space through painting, film and collaborative sound work. Notable exhibitions include: Notes on Navigating Space, Artlacuna, London (2017); Circles are Slices of Spheres, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle (2016-17); COME TO DUST, Generator Projects, Dundee (2016); Phase, The Castle Keep, Newcastle (2014); and Art, Villes & Paysage Festival, Amiens (2014).
In July 2020 she began Artist/Mum (@artists_mums), a publication project recording conversations with Artists who are also Mums in the hope of hearing and sharing aspects of artists' lives that are missing in contemporary practice and parlance.
Morris lectures part-time in Fine Art at Newcastle University.

Research
Rosie Morris's practice based research looks at the production and reception of atmosphere in architectural spaces. Her installations try to suspend time in order to reconnect the viewer with the excitement and wonder of being within a space. A space can bear witness, be animated, tenacious, and open to exploration. Her constructions wrap around the space itself, using perspectival painting, film, sound, and written text to prompt the viewer to move and reassemble their perceptions, dislodging familiar encounters with reality.
