Rosalyn Driscoll

Rosalyn Driscoll is a visual artist working in sculpture, installation, drawing and photography. The body, perception and nature are primary sources of structure, form, imagery and scale. Her materials are sensuous and elemental: stone, wood and fabric, often combined with  rawhide, which evokes skin, animal, death and transformation. Her first sculptures were tactile, engaging the somatic senses in the experience of art, leading to her book, The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts (Bloomsbury: 2020). She animates her sculptures with light and moving images, often in collaboration with filmmakers and dancers. She makes site-specific outdoor sculpture in sites such as Boston Christian Science Plaza, Saint-Gaudens National Park, and Chesterwood. She lives in Western Massachusetts, shows her work internationally, and has received awards from the New England Foundation for the Arts, Massachusetts Cultural Council (three times), and residencies at Djerassi, L’AiR in Paris, Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos, New Mexico, Cuzco, Peru, and Dartington Hall, Devon, UK.
