MAUREEN BOWIE
Artist Statement
I find inspiration in the elements of age, decay and that which is worn. Structures in despair, oxidized metals, peeling paint and graffiti, and all that nature has eroded and society itself condemned. With the use of found materials and left over scraps from renovations my latest works, a series called "House" has been born. These works reveal bits and pieces of building materials and hardware from the past. They suggest that a house is more than just a roof over your head. It’s structure, both inside and out with all it is made of has a deeper meaning which leaves an imprint deep within the heart.
