Rosie Wates’ work is concerned with aspects of memory and journey, both her own experiences of living abroad in Russia, South America and the Indian Sub-Continent, and her family’s roots/routes in Russia and their experience as immigrants to this country (early 20th century).

The flicker of frames of a celluloid film.
The flit-flit of images closely observed from a speeding train (or barely registered?).
The intense flash of a hand, a dusty door, a leer, the magenta of a passing dress, that face in that crowd on that day (or was it another day?).
Shards of memory.
Whirling in the mind.
A jumble of papers on the table.
The desire to bring a sense of order to the chaos of different places, people, times.
Colour.
Mark.
Image.
Paint - delicious and seductive. Creamy dreamy.
Light, that cunning old alchemist.
On the surface.
Beneath lurk journeys, histories, connections.
Memories. Mine. Yours. Theirs.
The desire, perhaps futile, to create some form of memorial to those “which have no memorial”.
