ROSE VICKERS

Reclaimed vintage rulers made into geometric designs.

Rose works mainly using found and carefully collected materials by appropriating commonplace objects and responding to their innate narrative qualities. Inspired by simple geometry, the work can be suggestive of the tradition of piecing patchwork and the necessity of using materials that were to hand and could not be wasted, and in so creating something which could act as a narrative document of their maker’s lives. Rose’s latest work is created using her large collection of school rulers and yardsticks, subtly evoking an earlier utopianism whilst celebrating the everyday usefulness of the simplest of tools.
