In this pairing of sculptural works, the act of trying to understand or make sense connects the artistic practices of Beck Lowry and Alex Paat. Their compositions present as code or symbols for us to decipher, as each grapples with big questions around connection, spirituality, ritual, and transformation. These works play with dualities like fear and joy, the haptic and the intangible, and image versus object.
