Rosalind Faram has a multidisciplinary way of working which questions the traditional patriarchal art-culture model. Through facilitating an expansive, fluid mode of creating, a partitive non-hierarchical aesthetic which embraces alterity arises. Her work fuses the tropes of painting, writing, sculpture & photography to demand entitlement and challenge female invisibility. She employs Instagram to both create and display works in tandem with traditional studio practices, blurring the distinction between the artist and the object of focus; creating heterotopias in which Otherness commands identification.
