Description

For five decades Dowell, Jr.’s work has explored notions of space and time. He created this early work while teaching at Indiana State University. The artist creates a disoriented point of view, offering a perspective that seems to be above the dramatic amorphous forms—partly organic and partly mechanical—that float in the indeterminate space.
