Rowan Leckie is an artist deeply inspired by themes of belonging and identity, weaving connections between the tangible realm of science and the abstract world of philosophical phenomenology. Her work delves into the intricate layers of family history embedded in DNA and epigenetic inheritance, probing the grey areas and ambiguities of everyday assumptions. Through her art, she explores emotions that defy easy articulation, translating them into visual narratives. These themes are deeply personal, often drawing from her own life experiences to create a profound and autobiographical resonance.
"These themes often surface in my work, even when I am not consciously aware of them. I create as a way to explore and articulate emotions and ideas that resist simple explanation, inviting others into a shared space of discovery. My practice is deeply intuitive, rooted in responses to unanswered questions and elusive feelings, but it is also grounded in rigorous research that resonates with these themes. Through this process, I seek not only to understand myself and my place within the world but also to highlight the shared threads of connection and being that unite us all."
