My recent paintings consist of repeating, suggestive biomorphic forms that evoke shapes, patterning, and movement in nature and the body. The forms allude to things like touching lips, leaves, tongues, splitting cells, drips, wrinkles, waves, teeth, flowers, or skin. I depict the abstract forms in my paintings with a naturalistic sense of light and shadow, giving them a physical presence that seems rooted in reality.

 
Cowansage’s figures are swollen and emerge in the background like a portrait of a post-apocalyptic organism captured during an ice age. These profiles have a biomorphic appearance and surreal consistency; they could be light or heavy, but they still traverse space without gravity. The silhouettes are so ambiguous that one can imagine observing them under a microscope, tiny and invisible, as much as one can fantasize about finding them lying within a habitat on another planet: enormous, colossal, of disproportionate size.
