File:Mia Westerlund Roosen Box 2 2020.jpg

Sculpture by Mia Westerlund Roosen, Box 2 (epoxy resin, 16" x 16" x 47", 2020). The image illustrates the later sculpture of Mia Westerlund Roosen: her 2010s and 2020s series, which often returned to the minimal, monolithic approaches of her early work. This work often consisted of elementary, rectangular concrete slabs, or in this case, epoxy resin box-like forms combining minimalism with details such as uneven edges, rounded corners, bowed planes and visible imperfections that emphasized her creative process. The resin works take advantage of the material's more vulnerable, skin-like and luxurious qualities, which contrast with the somewhat chilling box, each distinguished by an individualized interior.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating the later sculpture of Mia Westerlund Roosen in the 2010s and 2020s, which often returned to the minimal, monolithic approaches of her early work. This work often employed elementary, rectangular concrete or epoxy resin shapes, sometimes set atop one another in simple, rigorous compositions (the "Bridges" series) or in box-like forms. Like her other her other work, they combine minimalism with details such as uneven edges, rounded corners, bowed planes and visible imperfections that emphasized her creative process. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand these later developments and bodies of work, which brought Westerlund Roosen ongoing recognition through exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Westerlund Roosen's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
