Alan Rose
Kinetic Art
Alan Rose studied chemical engineering and from this discipline gained an appreciation of the morphogenic, serial nature of molecules, especially polymers.

He then pursued a career in manufacturing, chiefly plastic products of a repetitious form, eg textiles, bubble-wrap, further imprinting these geometric visual images.

All this while he was making art, water colours, wood-carving, welded metal and other media, and in 2006 started a BFA at the National Art School. In his third year he visited South America and discovered a number of artists from the 60s, broadly categorized as kinetic artists, and incorporated these ideas in his practice.
​
His main addition to the equation was light, of many different types, and in 2013 he started an MA (Design) at UTS, specializing in illumination.
