In this exhibition, the address for the artist is his childhood house. The generic form of the artist's house makes it universal. Rose punctuates the house as the constructed conception of the body. The house not only houses the body but also insures the survival of the body, shielding its vulnerability from nature. The house frames us in a cultural and temporal context.
Time becomes present in the form of memory past and present.
Rose represents the fragments of location by constructing a mailbox, a bench, a table, a chair, a room and a house called Ash Garden. Ash Garden's space is a theoretical construction of memory using materials that will engage the viewer in meditation through the tactile and visual qualities of the materials. Rose's objects are as much in transition as they are thought to be fixed. His letter needs an address, his chair a position. Rose's work makes each of his fragmented domestic spaces a theater.
