Rowe’s sculptural installations draw inspiration from both cinema and architecture. With common construction materials Rowe creates abstract structures that suggest a three dimesional series of frames of the film sequences. Her hybrid constructions that refer to our culture of prefabricated building – Home Depot, strip malls, and housing tracts, often focus on transitional spaces such as corridors, stud-walls, windows and doorways.
