Biography

Lowena Hearn investigates themes of home, domesticity, and transformation through a multidisciplinary practice encompassing sculpture, installation, and everyday objects. By reimagining familiar items—furniture, clothing, jewelry, and even food—she creates immersive environments that blur the boundaries between art and life. Hearn’s approach is shaped by her nomadic upbringing, living in tents, caravans, and geodesic domes, which informs her understanding of home as a space defined by personal significance rather than fixed location. She employs materials such as plaster, wood, shells, and candles to craft tactile and intimate compositions that evoke warmth, ritual, and poetic resonance.
