Bruno David Gallery, St. Louis, MO | 2006
Installed in a solo exhibit, this series of sculpture focuses on ideas about embodiment and the parallel anatomies of architecture and humans. In the catalogue essay, Kim Humphries writes “Imagine a world where inanimate architecture and human beings can interact in unreal ways. In this imagined place, each has the potential for morphing with the other in impossible combinations to meld and become, in varying degrees, one with each other. In the exhibit, Downen presents a void between the imaginary and the physical, between the corporal and the disembodied. In this subtle space, questions arise along with a suspended moment that invites quietness for contemplation.”
