ROSIE DENNIS is a Sydney-based artist. She works primarily in a solo capacity mixing movement and text to create deceptively simple and intensely evocative work. She is a classically trained musician in piano and flute - which informs her current live-art practice. Her work has been presented at festivals in Australia, UK and Europe. She is also the author of The Bold And The Beautiful Bible, a fine companion for any lonely heart.
