Rosemary Tamas-Cao is a Magandjin/Brisbane-based artist working across sculpture, installation, text and performance. Navigating her Romanian and Vietnamese descent, Tamas-Cao embraces the fragile material of Vietnamese rice paper to explore themes of nourishment, culture, home and impermanence. Her works are often concerned with the interrelated vulnerabilities of environmental dependence, airily arranging food matter and organic byproducts to highlight atmospheric and ecological agency. 

As part of the QCAD Graduate Show in 2024, Tamas-Cao was awarded the Arts National Brisbane River Young Arts Award as well as Best in Show. She exhibited her undergraduate work in Hatched: National Graduate Show 2025 with the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) in Boorloo/Perth.
