Artist Statement

Abbie Fowler is an artist inspired by the natural world. In her practice she explores the relationship between art and ecology, materiality and abstraction, and how the mechanics of sculpture can shape our act of living ecologically. Through her work you can expect to see sculptures made from natural materials, such as wild clay and wood, as well as film photography and videography, that are inspired by questioning human interference in nature.
