Rob Crosse
Rob Crosse is searching for ways to visualise and reenforce the value of older age, and to challenge the fact that ageing is so often associated with decline. He makes work using video, photography, sculpture, drawing and sometimes performance to think about the importance of support between generations. Crosse’s own desire to belong is explored through engaging with other communities whose activities form many different modes of communication and recreation.
In 2020, Crosse was awarded the prestigious ars viva prize for visual arts.
