Exhibit Description

Nancy Bowen utilizes imagery from Farmer's Almanacs, published between 1800 and 1867. In her drawings, she collages imagery and text from the Farmer's Almanacs with rubbings of early American tombstones and linear patterns suggestive of Eastern origins. Her sculpture urges the questions raised by the works on paper: what recommends itself as auspicious? What compels belief? What serves in our negotiations with fate?
