Rosie McLean is a process-led artist based in London who works with sculpture, costume and assemblage to create installation, film, performance and lens based media. Often she works with the body and found objects in combination with beads, glass and other translucencies. At the moment she is thinking a lot about risk, trust, attention and value through lingering affective shapes and textures, the interrelational becoming cacophonous, sensory and strange through interplays of illumination, distortion and opacity.

Since 2022 she has been combining flameworked glass and fire ritual, developing an experimental glass casting technique.

She welcomes collaboration, and has worked with practitioners across disciplines such as photography, sound, performance, film, ritual and permaculture.

She began the MFA  in Sculpture at the Slade October 2025. Her work has been supported nationally and internationally, including Scottish Sculpture Workshop (Aberdeen), Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin), The Royal Academy (London), Red Gallery (London), Glastonbury Festival (Somerset), Modern Art Oxford, Ovada (Oxford), and Fusion Arts Oxford (Oxford).
