‘Stelae for Foreign Bodies’ investigates the nature of the landscape and the traces humanity leaves behind on a micro and macro level. The work references memorials, anthropology,  geology, and archeology. It contrasts decay and new life: seeds within may germinate as other fragments decay over time, exposing a treasure trove of detritus from the meaningful to the mundane.

Roseveare has exhibited in the UK and internationally, including the Istanbul Art Fair, Saatchi Gallery, Venice Bieannale, Kinokino (Sandnes, Norway), Museo MACO (Mexico) and Aspex Portsmouth. He works with sculpture, installation, video and performance. His work predominately focuses on the complex relationship between culture and landscape.

Our Planting Scheme

Bleakness, decay and forgotten discards have influenced the planting scheme here. Rubus ‘Loch Ness’ has been chosen to accompany this sculpture to show the overlooked and how nature reacts to it.
