Through symbolic action Becky Bowley’s work evokes the relationship between the body and time through the medium of traditional making and the movement of the body within a place. Her interest lies in poetical dialogues between the memory and imagination of human feeling and experiences becoming a dynamic image of the mythical. Materials are composed as symbols of the elements that resonate with impermanence and hint at transformation - to move the body within time and place “To cross a territory, to walk, to open a path, to recognise a place, to comprehend symbolic values, to invent a geography”5.
