About
Rosalind Fowler is an artist seeking to cultivate and explore meaningful entanglements between environmental care and human healing through a combination of earth-based, analogue, and digital practices. Her cross-disciplinary work spans mediums and forms, including gatherings, workshops, film, sound and installation. Particularly interested in our interrelations with plants, she creates rituals and participatory gatherings, often in socially engaged contexts, to create space for re-rooting, imaginative encounter, and speculatively exploring alternative present futures. These processes often form the starting points for film and installation work. Rosalind's training as a herbalist, gardener, sound therapist, and most recently, plant material weaver, form part of her embodied approaches and research.
Participatory projects have included creating a large scale sculptural form for Horniman museum's 125th birthday, woven into by the public; working with asylum seekers in South London exploring themes and practices of weaving, foraging and herbs; artist-led plant journeys with community gardeners at Organiclea food growing cooperative on the edge of Epping Forest; and myth-making with diverse residents on the Wenlock Barn Estate in Hackney, and Syrian refugee families in Cornwall.
Rosalind's work was recently featured in 2026 Serpentine gallery major publication 'The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish' All is leaf, so to amplify the wonder, screened as part of Serpentine’s ‘Shape of a Circle in the Dream of a Fish’ series (2022, with galeria municipal do Porto.)

Others commissions include What Lies Below (2015) supported by Wellcome Trust and BFI, Tamesa (2015) NOW gallery, and Folk In Her Machine (2014) supported by AHRC. Her work has exhibited and screened widely, including at ICA, BFI, Jerwood gallery, Camden Arts Centre, Somerset House Utopia season, and PLACE: Common Ground, curated by Gareth Evans (Whitechapel Gallery).
