Common Ground

Walker Fine Art Gallery

Theresa Clowes sculpts abstract landscapes with ephemeral fabric, discarded objects, translucent light, and opaque shadows. Her most recent work is driven by curiosity around the data and history of the Colorado River. This landscape, in particular, highlights the complicated and strange predicament of having too much water and not enough at the same time. Rather than dwell in this ominous quandary, Clowes’ work explores symbiotic interconnection within the context of contrasts. By incorporating ideas about interconnection and juxtaposition through both material and concept, her work reveals the prospect for equilibrium.
