Roma Tearne is the author of “Mosquito”. She was born
in Sri Lanka, but arrived in Britain aged 10 in 1964. The boat journey from Sri
Lanka took 21 days over rough seas. The family lived in Brixton for some time,
something that influenced Roma Tearne’s 2002 exhibition “The House of Small
Things”. Roma Tearne completed her MA at the Ruskin School of Drawing and
Fine Art. From 2002 to 2003, she was artist in residence at the Ashmolean
Museum in Oxford. She has also been artist in residence at Modern Art, Oxford.
Roma Tearne is currently embarked on a 3-year research fellowship from Oxford
Brookes University. Her project, entitled “Investigating and Accessing
Narrative and Memory Through Artistic Practice in a Museum Context” will
involve working at the Imperial War Museum and Pompeii. Her current emphasis as
an artist is discovering the secret and fragile histories found in public
spaces, objects, and photographic archives. Roma Tearne lives in Oxford.
