Rosie O’Reilly’s practice is both research based and process oriented, her work is concerned with the rationalist-constructivist view of nature that separates it from human experience. It is an interdisciplinary practice that is manifested through the media of writing, drawing, sound art, installation and lens-based practices of Photography and Video. Through these varied media, she employs strategies of investigation, metaphorization and transformation in order to question existing knowledge and power structures surrounding both scientific and artistic disciplines. It is through these strategies that the core issues related to the nature-culture, and human-more than human divide are expressed. Her ongoing focus is how we care and mend through artistic research while at the same time using hybrid thinking to bridge gaps and entangle multiple stories and narratives across human and more than human worlds. She is focused on building connections in a world we are physically entangled with but have been trained to think apart from and in this way use her practice to addresses the age of the Anthropocene.
