Rosie Leventon makes sculptural installations and drawings.

Many of the pieces embody Green principles and environmental awareness. She often uses recycled materials and local labour, and sometimes provides water for animals and birds. Some of the work also encourages biodiversity and regeneration.

Her work interweaves a kind of personal archaeology with the archaeology of contemporary society and the physical archaeology of places.

It often contains paradoxes and surprises.

Rosie has undertaken many site related commissions for a disused factory, a stone quarry, galleries, museums, parks, gardens.
She has worked internationally including Poland, Russia, Japan, USA, Spain, France and Germany.
