“At a time when many artists who work at a large scale employ studio assistants to fabricate much of their art, it is noteworthy that Owens does everything herself. Many of her sculptures can take nearly a year or more to complete: she makes them alone. Her solitude, another invisible element, is a strong presence in the work. No detail, no part of its surface speaks of machine process. The sense of the handmade, of patient labor expended slowly over time and at large scale, is nearly overwhelming.” – from the essay, “Sherry Owens: The Aquarium of the Mind,” by Kathleen Whitney.
