About the Item
Paul Bowen has always been interested in material with a history—wood he has scavenged that was once part of ships, houses, salt works, barrels, cable drums, or crates. He has also worked with ships' flags, tar, canvas, rope and other marine detritus. His drawings and prints derive their imagery from his environment and he has created his own inks from squid, Xerox toner and walnuts.
His small-scale sculptures, constructed from wood fragments, use limited means such as stacking, piling, and simple carpentry and often appear to float across or torque away from the surface of the wall. He also builds large-scale sculptures, primarily commissioned for private homes and museums, with massive timbers, like those culled from old beer vats and other salvaged sources.
This construction demonstrates Bowen’s peculiar genius with balance. The work remains compositionally sound while weighted significantly to one end. The result is a sculpture that evokes navigational devices, a religious relic, a work surface, even a ram or bull is suggested. It is a quiet artifact from a very loud world.

- UntitledLocated in Provincetown, MAViewing Elspeth Halvorsen Vevers’ box constructions is a lot like a walk in the moonlight. What we believe to be true in the hard brightness of daytime reality dissolves into an amorphous space of multiple possibilities and perspectives. Describing these constructions, Boston Globe art critic Cate McQuaid wrote “a container becomes the state for an insinuating abstract narrative.” Halvorsen was instrumental in organizing the much-heralded cooperative Rising Tide Gallery. She was not only a talented sculptor, but was also the matriarch of the uniquely gifted Vevers family of artists: her husband was painter Tony Vevers...Category
