“This wood is something I have wanted to make for a long time. But I needed the right kind of material. The right thickness and hardness. Now, I can’t stop thinking about the process. How to slice it, put it on the table, start designing it and accomplish the concepts I have envisioned.”

“Yes it is. I am very excited about this coming process. Bringing out the material, you know … it is almost as the wood talks to you. Then I try to envision how the piece will work out aesthetically. And I think about how to mix it with other media.”

“In this piece, I need to dig out holes, and then I am certain will cover the holes with these big, beautiful copper plates. Furthermore, this piece of art also includes some balls, and then I imagine whether they should be stonelike or made from ceramics.”

“In my true sense as a visual artist; I think it is about appreciating oneself and being in tune with ones thoughts and abilities, and not being afraid of expressing those thoughts in the best way possible. This is how I approach a piece of wood; imagining how I can turn it into one perfect, beautiful sculpture. An expression of a persons individuality. And in a way, I am giving the viewer me.”

“I think it is a matter of being very romantic. I like to imagine beautiful things, and I like the perfection of a solid, three-dimensional sculpture. When you view my art, I hope you will appreciate how this one whole body of ideas comes to show, that you can feel the artists inner thoughts and ideas. And in a way, appreciate your own inner thoughts, your abilities and limitations”

“When I am walking around and seeing something, I store it as an idea for a future art piece. Whether it is a visual or emotional input, I think about it and ask: ’Is this an idea that can live in one of my pieces?’ Later, I am seperating these memories, throwing away, rejecting but still loving all these daily impulses”

“It is hard to pinpoint. It comes from things happening around me. Daily life inspires me a lot. But then again; there are some constants that I need … I hold on to the mediums I am using. Carving wood. Using clay. And my cultural roots – the Ugandan visual culture – becomes a constant too. I base myself on my visual culture to express my anger, my satisfaction and my joy.”

“I go back into history. To my portfolio of unfinished woorks. Ideas that never happened or something I wanted to do, but didn’t finish.” Rose is pointing to a large piece of wod at the table in her outdoor workplace. ”These days I have cleared the space in my workshop. Then I often find myself bringing out a piece I’ve had many attempts at. I look at it and say: ’Well. What can I do with you? Now, it’s your turn again.’ And if it doesn’t spark anything, I put it back and move forward. But sometimes going backwards”
