Rosie Leventon FRSS works across Land art , sculpture, installation painting & drawing. Much of her work is site-responsive and utilises a wide range of materials: recycled, innovative, from mobile phones, insulation and paperbacks to stainless steel, glass, stone, water and earth. her influences are vernacular architecture & ecology, with an archaeological background. A recurring theme running through her artistic practice is that of things that have been lost, hidden, or forgotten.
Leventon was commissioned by Stour Valley Arts to make two large earthworks which are situated in Kings Wood in Stour Valley, Kent, and form part of the Stour Valley Sculpture Trail alongside other artworks. Both pieces were shortlisted for the Rouse Kent Award for Public Art and Ring was the winner.
From 2014, Leventon was commissioned by the Woodland Trust to make a permanent Earthwork for the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Woods situated in Normanton le Heath, Leicestershire, UK.Exhibitions
