Rosa Shepherd (1998) grew up in Cape Town, South Africa. For the past few years she has lived and worked in Amsterdam, NL where she obtained a bachelor degree in Architectural Design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and i currently doing a masters degree at the Sandberg Instituut. Having a history in Graphic Design studies has set the groundwork for the way she works. At present this means:
‘a bit on the page’ and ‘a bit off the page’.
Her work switches between 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional multiple times throughout a project, often involving the body as a measurment tool to aproach and understand space. This constant flipping between work on and off the page allows for new readings to appear - reading the composition of a space as though it were a book, or understanding the content of a page as though it were a dance.
