Research Interests

Rosenheim fashions beasts out of features borrowed from animal, human and mythological creatures to embody environmental peril and the psyche. She explores the feminist assertion that the personal is political, proposing aging as both intimate experience and social stereotype. Rosenheim’s practice is steeped in material exploration. She uses labor-intensive practices to build form and embellish surfaces. Her mediums range from 14 karat gold to papier mâché, traditional paints and raw pigments as she responds to the expressive demands.
