Rossanne Pellegrino
Rossanne Pellegrino’s studio in St Leonards-on-Sea, UK.
”Often with women as the subjects of my found imagery, I have made commentary on my observations on the changing (or unchanging) views of women’s roles in society, tradition, motherhood and identity. I have used bold colour, pastel hues, humour and unexpected objects, such as pompoms, to look at these themes in an accessible way. I also use children’s toys (some of which I recreate out of clay), glitter and vintage textiles in my work. My aim is to create art the way I want to, not bound by a history and tradition of how artists 'should' make art (cue: don’t be funny and definitely don’t use pompoms!).”
