With her newest suite of sculptures “The Walkers,” Rowe fuses together the concept of essence and desire. With line, form, color and scale, Rowe creates imagery that draws on the archetypal image of the primal. Each sculpture is a coiled built, freestanding hollow vessel. A vessel in its simplest sense is a container. Traditionally, vessels held items from nourishment to precious materials. Rowe extends this definition. Her sculptures hold their own power. As an artist, Rowe becomes the shaman who wills the works into existence. In completion, the sculpture has its own voice and one of strength. The sculpture contains a spirit willed to it by its creator. Her sculptures transcend the ordinary. The viewer is presented with not a conventional object of desire but a more primal sense of the word. As one walks in the room, their blood pressure rises as they are confronted by monumental works bio-morphic in nature. As abstracted human forms, they allow for the experience of humanness without the literal translation. Yet each is larger than human scale and god-like. When asked why monumental, Rowe easily replies that people climb the highest mountain because they desire the grand. More importantly it calls forth the idea of myth. Each work embodies something greater than itself. Each embodies an essence of life, love, sexuality, birth and the journey living.
