Her drawing methodologies of using fine dots, lines or frottage on delicate papers to create a drawn dimensional ghosting reflect her interest in the transience and traces of human presence and absence. Rosalind selects the materiality associated with the body, dust, hair, bone and uses delicate cloth or paper as metaphor.
The scale of her work varies from miniature to human life size. Both her drawings and sculptures are accomplished by the repetition and assemblage of small elements.
Beautiful and fragile her work both tempts and repels touch.
