Beck Lowry //
And above it sky
On View: January 17 – March 22, 2026
Closing Reception: Sunday, March 22 from 1-3pm
Beck Lowry is a mixed-media artist whose intricate, wall-hung abstractions explore themes of protection, labor, and lineage. Drawing on the language of the natural world and on canonical histories of craft, Lowry’s assemblages are made of carved plywood, woven with crochet thread, and layered with oil paint, fabric scraps, and other materials. Their process arises from a need to build, to exert physical energy through ritual, and to connect to the long lineage of makers—from ancient stone carvers and weavers to the carpenters, boat builders, and jewelers in their own family. Blending tradition and innovation, Lowry explores the evolving relationship between craftsmanship and narrative meaning and a curiosity about the power of objects to embody memory, resilience, and transformation.
And above it sky
This is the image reflected in the water:
A city ruined, and above it clouds.
A ruined city and above it a column of azure sky.
And in the distance, stepping over blue thresholds,
The remains of History or the Spring of myth.
translated from Czesław Miłosz's poem Reflections
