In connection with “Nancy Bowen: From A to Z and the Bodies In Between,” her solo exhibition at NUNU Fine Art, Two Coats of Paint arranged a conversation between Bowen and psychoanalyst-artist Laurence Hegarty about her practice. Approaching her work with an “artist-archaeologist” mindset, Bowen finds materials reassembles them into objects that challenge established narratives about language, the female body, traditional craft, and history. She indulges playfulness and unconscious impulses, letting social and political themes emerge in due course.
