Rowan's practice is rooted in the connections between bodies of water, ecological systems, geology and technology. Her work extends into installation, land-based performance, video and sound. Her work is informed by research in remote environments such as the Atacama Desert and the High Arctic.
Her artworks meditate on the relationship between the slow geological time of natural processes and the fast-paced, technology-driven, frenetic activity of humans. She works across video, performance and installation to develop ephemeral, alchemical and transformative pieces. Her work often focuses on the element of water as a means for representing the interconnections of ecological systems, to chart the movement of water from deep geological time to the liveness of melting ice; from regional specificity to universal presence in biology and the cosmos; from technological control to unstructured runoff.
