"With
the gold masked figure and dripping empty-eyed face in "Queen of the
Fluids; the eerily floating head in "Interiosity", and the puppet
constructs in videos such as "She" and "The Inn of Floating Imagery" - I
am constantly creating a pictorial female art persona, often with
inspiration from the supernatural figures portrayed in Japanese theater
and art." - Kathy Rose
Kathy Rose’s work has evolved from her early drawn animated films, and her unique, pioneering performances combining dance with film in the 1980-90’s, to her current surreal performance spectacles and videos, with influence from symbolist art and the Japanese Noh theater.
“From sci-fi Balinese insect queen to Kleopat’Ra wandering in the
desert night, Kathy Rose offered moments of transcendent strangeness
and visual wonder" Best of Year - Philadelphia Weekly
