Rosemary Tamas-Cao is a Meanjin (Brisbane) based artist using sculpture, performance, text and installation to reveal fragility within systems of sustenance. Primarily invested in the materiality of Vietnamese rice paper, she explores space through the meeting of climate, harvest and waste. Her works are concerned with ecological dependence and degrading replenishment, often adopting foodstuffs and organic byproducts as mediums to highlight entangled agency across these spheres. Interrelated themes across her practice include identity, value and loss.

Rosemary has recently been awarded the Arts National Brisbane River Young Arts Award, with the completion of her Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Queensland College of Art and Design.
