About Rose Garrard
Rose Garrard is an installation, video and performance artist, sculptor, and author. Garrard's works have been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Tate Gallery, the British Council maintained Great Britain pavilion at the 1984 Venice Biennale, and national galleries in Austria and Canada. Garrard received a scholarship from the British Council/French Government to attend the Ecole de Beaux Arts, Paris from 1970–1971 where she won the Prix d'Honneur Gold Medal for Sculpture in 1971. Garrard found the text strengthening during her healing period and created artwork based on the images she visualised from the text. The accident also inspired a series of mixed media drawings entitled 'Talisman' based on an ancient gnostic text 'The Thunder, Perfect Mind' which was re-discovered in 1946. Among her sculptures created after her move back to the Malvern Hills are the Enigma Fountain including the statue of Sir Edward Elgar (Unveiled by The Duke of York on Belle Vue Terrace, Great Malvern on 26 May 2000).
