Rozanna is a painter and ceramicist who’s work explores themes of memory, physicality and ritual. Having long fostered a fascination with the forests of the South West, she has made her home in Nannup, where the surrounding landscape inspires her work. She has a wide spanning background in the creative fields with degrees in both visual arts and design (photography), and has exhibited her works in both Western Australia and New South Wales.As a painter, Rozanna is influenced by the Australian landscapeꟷtaking inspiration from the smallest details, expanding and abstracting them. Her practice involves a direct collaboration with the natural world, often treating the surface by rusting or eco-dyeing with locally sourced eucalypt leaves before painting as a direct response to the resulting patterns.In 2019 Rozanna expanded her practice into ceramics, in which she uses a variety of hand-building techniques to create functional and sculptural works which draw on the ritual of daily life. Landscape is again a co-collaborator in her floral wares and vessels, designed to bring the outside in, and can be seen in the organic patterns created by her free-form nerikomi technique in which coloured clays are used to create patterns mimicking the striations in rocks or the babbling of a brook.
