Presence: Six Sculptors came together on the advent of Nancy Bowen’s retirement, commemorating her twenty-three years dedicated to teaching Sculpture at Purchase College. In a tribute to her pedagogical journey, Bowen elected to showcase her work alongside six sculptors, all women, each of whom overlap teaching careers with Bowen and embody distinct sculptural approaches. This assembly not only honors Bowen but also mirrors the educational philosophy of Purchase College, which eschews a singular dogma in art creation in favor of nurturing individual artistic voices.
