Rosie Nott
Hailing from Switzerland, Rosi Nott is an expressive artist, enthusiastic knitter, and crocheter of microfibres, with a hands-on approach to ceramics. Her whimsical creations are influenced by the Black Madonna housed in the Abbey of Einsiedeln near Zurich. These pieces are artfully crafted from an assortment of found items, locally-sourced threads, and feathers collected from various regions of Australia, weaving together a tapestry of characters that champion the spirit of inclusivity.
Over a year in the making, her work marries a diverse set of skills, allowing each figure to evolve with its own set of characteristics — Joy, Apprehension, Stoicism, and Compassion. The resulting ensemble is a fantastical jubilee, echoing a utopian vision where the sacred strains of 'Panis Angelicus' meet the vibrant celebration of New Orleans' Mardi Gras.
