Explorer

Rose B. Simpson is a mixed-media artist whose work engages ceramic sculpture, metals, fashion, performance, music, installation, writing, and custom cars.

These life-size ceramic figures signify the artist’s own self-actualization and empowerment. In Warrior, Rose Simpson strategically places items that represent energy on the figure’s body. Simpson sees these as the tools needed to confront any situation. The crouching figure, Explorer, represents someone passing through a transformative dimension or event. The other standing figure, Nurturer, gently cradles an adult in a woven pod, questioning a person’s relationship to one’s self.
