Elinor Rowlands (lives and works in London) makes live art, sound trails, stim-scapes, sound art, paints, performs, video-audio, and installations that examine collectivity and participation, enabling different forms of communities to be explored in relation to site and context. She often works with collaborators as a method to develop gothic languages, folk histories and construct temporary communities.

My practice is moved by feelings of “otherness” offered through the prism of ritual and magic. Using repetitive/rhythmic gestures, my autistic/ADHD/synaesthesia lens explores texture, voice, recorded media & live performance.

I layer sound, sculpting it around repeated images from nature. My work has a phantasmagorical feel, overwhelming and immersive, secretive, yet particularly revealing to diverse audiences. It has been compared to a Leonora Carrington psychological landscape: At one level displaying a consciousness echoing an ancient sensibility. At another level expressing something intensely contemporary.

My work has been supported and presented by: Canal and River Trust, The Supporting Act Foundation, Arts Council England, Canal and River Trust, The Free Space Project, Drake Music Scotland, Unlimited, LADA, Shape, Tate Modern, Guerrilla Zoo, Hammersmith Lyric Theatre, Camden People’s Theatre, Drake Music, Disability Arts Online, and European Investment Bank, Luxembourg.
