It Feels Like The First Time - A sensory vessel of art and design
"It Feels Like The First Time represents a boundless environment of mixed media conversations presented through archival images, video recordings, sculptures, drawings, automated and audible works, and so much more. This exhibition tastefully creates a sensorial tension, a push and pull, between material memory, existing power struggles, belief systems and the contradictory, uncanny moments of modern life."
Rosie Evans - Age of maximalism
“Rosie Evans, a Welsh designer, now residing in Brighton, is breathing new life into genderless corsets and revitalising the previously negative historical context behind bodices. Corsets, since the fifteen and sixteen hundreds have always been kind of a ‘taboo’ subject, from the dangers of tight lacing, classism, sexism and a whole litany of health problems from posture to poor digestion. Women then and now are being told what to wear. But, Rosie Evans leaves behind any historical notions of corsets as oppressive.”
