Rose Rigley traces memory, materiality, and the quiet choreography of the everyday.

Rose Rigley is a conceptual artist working at the intersection of memory, everyday materiality, and feminist practices of not‑forgetting. Currently undertaking a Master of Fine Art at the National Art School in Sydney, she works across installation, assemblage, and artist books to explore how small gestures and overlooked objects carry personal and collective histories. Rose views the studio as a site of intimate revolt, where the domestic becomes operational, and the mundane becomes transformative. ​
"My work is durational and care‑based: I utilise stitching, indexing, binding, and slow cataloguing as forms of repair.
​I invite audiences to handle materials, contribute micro‑memories, and engage with living archives that resist erasure."
