Working mostly with fabric, Rosa Tharrats (*Barcelona, lives and works in Barcelona) also uses a range of mediums, including installation, sculpture and performance. She’s particularly interested in the synchronicities and patterns of nature intuitively using all sorts of materials. She traces, modifies and forges alliances that enhance the transformation of those materials, turning their qualities on their heads, and making them into bodies that invoke concepts such as weightlessness, meditation and ritual. Ultimately, Tharrats is interested in the sensory communication between different types of materials and beings. Concepts such as transformation, symbiosis or the nature-culture paradigm are other crucial elements in her work.
