Objects, Ray Hughes Gallery, Brisbane, March 1977 "Outstanding are the assemblages by Rosalie Gascoigne. Her imagination and sensitivity to beauty metamorphose humble, discarded things into marvellous, new creations. It has to be seen to be believed that she can create a thing of visual poetry with a weathered wooden box (she may have found it in a farm yard), containing an arrangement of Toohey's Bitter Ale tins."
