Available Providence: Work by Constance Lowe I Principia College, Elsah, Illinois

​​​​​Through tactics of design in physical and perceptual construction, artist Constance Lowe draws upon a range of forms, materials, and media to consider our efforts to frame, order, contain, and control natural phenomena in response to existential and practical comforts and threats. Available Providence brings together two generations of Lowe's work, pairing earlier fabricated objects with new, emerging iterations of her ongoing painting and drawing process. While the former are scaled to the human body and lived environment, the two-dimensional works take a more distanced perspective that might be seen as maps for the shifting territory occupied by the objects. Collectively, the works seek to locate an imaginative space in which the familiar and prosaic are refracted through a poetic lens to prompt a constellation of subiective and sometimes conflicting associations.​​​​​​​​
