About the work
‘Rooney’s figures are at once specific and amorphous, friendly and threatening, powerful and injured – as though their outward forms have struck a bad bargain with the darker registers of the world.’ – Emily LaBarge
Rooney’s references engage with materiality and the human subject, but they are also deeply invested in the present moment: the pervasive dread fostered by political ideologies that casually discard the human and the humane; and the laden violence of our society so resident in the home, the female, and the body.
