Rosie Parsons Rosieparsons.co.uk

The website of Rosie Parsons presents the work of an artist whose practice intersects with walking, mapping, and the experience of landscapes. The content highlights Parsons’s explorations of place through durational walks, reflecting on the temporal and sensory dimensions of movement across terrain. Her projects often engage with relationships between embodied experience and geographical or historical contexts, using walking as a method of inquiry and artistic production. The site includes examples of Parsons’s collaborative and solo projects, exhibitions, and events that emphasize the layering of memory, environment, and narrative in public spaces. There is documentation of artworks that incorporate drawing, writing, and walking-based performances, underscoring an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and expressing place. The work situates walking not just as physical travel but as a critical practice within contemporary art and cultural geography.
