this series of three large-scale drawings contemplates how visualizing death as a landscape of not-being can display death in a less frightening light.
comprehEND, inspired by death acceptance, visualizes death in a mode that counteracts the ominous manner in which death is typically portrayed.
this series is grounded in studies of fears of death and personal experiences working in a funeral home, informed by interconnectivity and philosophies of mortality.
why spend moments of your life worrying about death?
why try to control the uncontrollable?
rosie harrington is always trying to:
discover new ways of making everyday life less serious,
illustrate humor into the world,
make people feel less alone.
rosie’s process:
takes the forms of many, many, many iterations,
typically involves a list of puns (a punning list,)
pushes her to look curiously, constantly at everything around her,
teaches her a lot about herself and the world,
teaches her a lot about herself in the world.
