Rosie McLean is a process-led artist based in London who works with sculpture, costume and assemblage to create installations and lens based media. At the moment she is thinking a lot about risk, trust, attention and value.  Often she puts found objects and bodies into conversation with repurposed beads, glass and other translucencies to create cartographies of illumination and interference.

In 2022 she has began combining flameworked glass and fire ritual to develop experimental casting techniques.

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. Past work has been supported by institutions including Scottish Sculpture Workshop (Aberdeen), Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin), The Royal Academy (London), Red Gallery (London), Glastonbury Festival (Somerset), Modern Art Oxford, Ovada (Oxford), Fusion Arts Oxford (Oxford), Arts Council England and A-N.
