ROSE MCADOO is an interdisciplinary artist using pastry to translate environmental systems into edible, participatory experiences. She collaborates with scientists to develop artworks and installations that render climate processes through taste, texture, and time.
McAdoo is the founder of the Edible Climate Archive, an evolving framework that brings together her site-responsive creations into a cohesive, long-term body of work. Through this archive, she is developing new forms of access to environmental knowledge — extending ephemeral experiences into lasting public engagement. Following a New York culinary career, Rose has pushed her work into increasingly wild locations: cooking sweets in the desert with Kenya’s Maasai tribe, alongside Congolese porters on Virunga's volcano summit, on glaciers across Alaska, with scientists in Antarctica, with artists in the Arctic, underground in the Australian Outback, and behind bars at Los Angeles County State Prison and NYC's Rikers Correctional Facility. Calling both poles home, Rose splits her time between Alaska and Antarctica — where she manages NASA's Long Duration Balloon research camp on the Ross Ice Shelf and previously wintered as a member of the Antarctic Search and Rescue team. For the last three years, she's also worked as an ice climbing and glacier guide in Alaska. Deep-field art residencies have led her to collect scientific data with the North Cascades Glacier Climate Project, decorate a four-tier cake at Denali Base Camp, and craft desserts about sea ice onboard the vessel Antigua with The Arctic Circle in Svalbard. Rose's work has won the attention of NPR, New York Times, Forbes, Saveur, REI, Edible Alaska, American Polar Society, and New York Magazine, among others. She was the cover artist for the Polar Times, a visiting lecturer for Cal State University Long Beach, and a gold medalist at the New York Cake Show. She's produced a solo show with Seward Alaska's First Fridays and a solo VR show with the Climate Gallery. Rose welcomes collaborations, speaking engagements, museum installations, and custom work — exploring the limitless potential of desserts to share powerful stories. View her CV here.
