Value: $55,000

This project has seen Rowan undertake two periods as artist in residence at The Paphos Theatre Archaeological Project in Cyprus. Using a variety of hardware and software approaches Rowan has creatively mapped and documented the excavation from the point of view of an artist who embraces the congruities between art and archaeology. The use of drones as a platform for data acquisition from the perspective of an artist has been key to this project. The success of this approach has seen Rowan appointed as Associate Director Artistic Interpretation for the Paphos Theatre Project in an ongoing capacity.
