Threatened Species - Rebecca Rowe
The first 3three years of human life is when the brain is most plastic. Neurological science confirms that brain development and an individual's psychological health is enhanced through engagement and connection to the arts and nature. By limiting our creativity, we greatly reduce our potential. Are we the next threatened species? Here sits a child's brain, carved in marble, nestled in a bed of blood cells made of textiles, in a shoebox stored like the treasure it is. Text and quotes are embedded or printed on the walls
Bio: I received my degree with honours from Sydney College of Arts in Sculpture Performance & Installation in 2001. Some of my highlight projects since graduating were the Streetscape Sculptures in Deloraine, where I was employed to run the project workshops, An Island Life producing a spiral wall with the community in Meander, and a commission for the Northwest NRM, producing a sculpture in granite and cast aluminium of the Azure Kingfisher installed in the King River, Strahan. My recent focus is on my own practice focusing on stone sculpture and pastel works. Recently I have participated in WOAD exhibitions organised by Arts Deloraine.
