A textile sculptor, Rowan Mersh explores form and fuses design with technique, emphasizing experimentation as the focus of his practice.

Mersh is a graduate of the Royal College of Art, the first to win the Mercury Art Prize, profiled in design magazines and featured on the cover of the acclaimed author’s book Fashioning Fabrics, which examined his alongside textile (fashion) icons Issey Miyake, Hussein Chalayan to mention a few. Mersh’s work is process oriented, the work reveals itself within his practice, as it takes form and reveals shape depending on the emphasis and materials / focus du jour.

Rowan Mersh likes to play with shapes, structures and materials, and his oversize jewellery objects have been included in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
