Rosemary Tamas-Cao is a Meanjin/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. 

Rosemary was awarded the Arts National Brisbane River Young Arts Award as well as Best in Show - QCAD Graduate Show in 2024 and is currently exhibiting in Hatched: National Graduate Show 2025 with the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) in Boorloo/Perth.
