The works in Moon Walking emerge from Rowe’s emotional connection to the moon. Whether in landscapes she encounters or those she imagines, the moon draws her attention, transforming her experience of place. Working from sketches, photographs and memory, she reimagines these landscapes in the studio. Colour and form move beyond direct observation, opening the landscape to the possibilities of imagination.

Drawn to the mystery and quiet solitude of night, Rowe embraces the freedom that emerges as recognisable details recede and the imagination takes over. Within the darkness, the moon remains a constant and reassuring presence.

Through Moon Walking, Rowe explores the interplay of darkness and light, familiarity and mystery, and our shifting relationship with the world around us. Her work invites us to look up, to see the familiar anew, and to consider our connection to the natural world and the vastness beyond it.
