About

These wall-based, multi-media sculptures incorporate a vast range of materials including ceramic, Jesmonite, oil paint, wood and copper. Operating as enigmatic and mysterious objects these compositions allude to fragmented details of human anatomy, mechanical systems and forms that recur throughout nature.

In his work Owen often focuses on ideas of fluidity in relation to time, matter, borders and territories. Through the merger of aesthetic and material elements sourced from various domains Owen playfully subverts and reorganises identifiable aspects of architecture, craft, and carpentry, all of which have socially prescribed characteristics and functions. Assertions of flux and transcendence are amplified by this hybridized approach. Owen uses this process as a metaphor to convey broader notions of fixed frameworks that organise our rigid understanding of the normative. Here, hierarchies retain the potential to move, shift and evolve.
