"Rosa Kelly�s work explores themes of the uncanny in relation to folklore and childhood through print-making, drawing and painting. The separation of the self as an uncanny phenomenon is something which Kelly interrogates through depictions of her younger self, partially as an attempt to reach this person who now feels unfamiliar. Similarly, she is concerned with the intrinsic power of certain objects which are part of us but which can become separate such as teeth, bones and hair. The emphasis on narrative in her work, alongside her investigations into childhood, have led her to an MA in Children�s Book Illustration at Goldsmiths University, following her BA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art. She also studied for a term at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna in 2021, where she was first able to explore print-making."
