Home | Rosemarie Cameron-Stone

Rosie Stone is an emerging artist currently in her final year at Weymouth College, studying for a Degree in Art and Design practice.

Rosie is interested in making work about world mythology and epic stories. as myths provide meaning and help us to understand what it is to be human.

The focus of this piece is a local myth of Portland Bill; The Roy Dog.

The theme has been explored through a range of techniques: monoprint charcoal, paint, plaster and Indian ink; and culminates in two paintings which encompass the whole narrative.

Monochromatic Gallery

Here I was looking at the ideas of colour by only using one colour and variations of that colour.
The materials that I have used are acrylic paint and cyanotype.

The space that we occupy

Here I was looking at the ideas of occupying a space by using boxes to create a new space for the view like yourself to fill.
I am exploring the metaphor of boxes. By creating new spaces in which to engage you as viewer in different concepts. These “contained exhibitions” are curated stories inspired by a visit to the Pitt Rivers and Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, responding to diverse histories, such as Egyptian tombs and Japanese masks.

Obsessions

Here I was using digital photography to create this collection.
With this piece I focused on my own obsessions with dance, nature and fairy tales .

Typography

Here I was working alongside/ with the British Dyslexic Associating to promote there work and who they are but, as well putting a positive message out to the public about what dyslexia is for them and what I dose as well.

Juxtapose

Here I was using mixed media (wire, wax, acrylic paint, Fethers, Photoshop, glitter, and fake gold leaf).
This piece was focused on juxtaposing - two things that are the polar opposite of each other. So, I chose to do mine on Heaven and Hell or Good and Evil.

The Roy Dog

The Roy Dog myth goes as follows:

The animal is described as a shaggy black dog, as tall as a man, with large fiery eyes, one green, one red, and entwined in his mane of dark fur can be seen the freshly plucked eyes of his human victims.
The creature emerges from the watery depths to seize any traveller passing by Cave Hole on Portland Bill, and drags them down into his dark watery domain.
