Ali Rouse
Ali Rouse’s work conjures up an animism of distinctly shamanic qualities. The work is of the earth, using the scaffolds of life that once transported wild animal spirits. These bodies that have been partially returned to the earth by the beautiful spirit that once carried it are now reincarnated and reanimated using stones and precious metals dug from the earth and glass beads spun from the sands of time. The work presents a permanent and luminous presence of the animal/earth spirit that it celebrates. Ali weaves all these earth elements into spectacular manifestations of animal and earth intertwined with each other, of each other and by each other.

He draws from personal experience and the beauty that he sees in all of his surroundings to create impressive works in marble, alabaster, sandstone and limestone.
