Matt Rowe is based in Folkestone, South East
Matt Rowe's practice is focused on vernacular symbols, language and folklore.
He often combines various disciplines, ceramics, model making and textiles to produce sculptural costumes, props that play with notions of regional and local identity. He uses his costumes and props as a means to create unexpected structures in the landscape that echo with associations of storybook narratives and ancient legends.
