Rosemary Tamas-Cao is a Meanjin/Brisbane-based artist working across sculpture, installation, text and performance. Propelled by the fragile material of Vietnamese rice paper, she explores the themes of nourishment, culture, home, identity and impermanence. Her works are often concerned with environmental dependence and degrading replenishment; she often uses food matter and organic byproducts to highlight entangled nonliving agency and reciprocity.

Rosemary was awarded the Arts National Brisbane River Young Arts Award as well as Best in Show - QCAD Graduate Show in 2024 and will be exhibiting in Hatched: National Graduate Show 2025 in Perth.
