Eileen Roscina
https://www.eileenroscina.com/Reaching towards infinity, mirror-based toys such as kaleidoscopes simultaneously expand our perceptions and elicit a sense of wonder. Using a combination of scanned, fresh, pressed, collaged and photographed flowers, Roscina uses reflective tools to deconstruct floral arrangements and reassemble them into new moving image forms.
Roscina is represented by Walker Fine Art and some of the visuals are rooted in a previously exhibited show.
Semblance is part of Summer Haze, the July 2024 program curated by Libby Garon.

Eileen Roscina is an artist, experimental filmmaker and naturalist from Denver, Colorado. She holds an MFA in Art Practices from the University of Colorado, Boulder and a BFA from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and also trained at the School of Botanical Art and Illustration in Denver. Through biomimicry and the study of biophilia, her work examines human’s spiritual and social (dis)connection with nature, and seeks to raise questions about realizing a radically different metaphoric mapping of time, space and our place in the world.
