Rosie Bellhouse



Rosie aimed to mimic a museum collection of the wings of a Robin. She plucked a dead robin setting aside the different feathers from the beak to the tail, from the smallest to the largest. These were then etched keeping each tiny detail and then framed in a way which communicated the seriousness of an academic study of a victorian ornithologist, all given their latin names in the appropriate form. Her show, nonetheless, had a certain pathos.
