“Offering: A Balm in a World of Wounds comprises 17 oil paintings, large and small. Fowler began this body of work with “Offering,” a diptych - a pair of canvases over which she painted a composition of intuitive, free form, almost symmetry.
Three more large diptychs followed. In the beginning Fowler was thinking about the rhythms, patterns and geometries of the plant world - how nothing in nature is perfectly symmetrical, but that there are consistent patterns. Then she began to think about humans in nature, as part of nature, not supreme in nature, and also about the imperfect symmetry of human bodies.
Fowler became especially concerned with female bodies. This work concerns broken patterns: generational pain and subsequent healing; death, rebirth and regeneration; sacrifice, ceremony, and also, vulnerability, with all its complications.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until October 14.
