If a painting on paper is successful, then I’ll turn it into a painting on canvas. Through this process of translating and re-translating an idea, I try to fine-tune the composition and look for strange or unexpected color relationships through trial and error. My paintings are full of perceptual shifts and uncanny spatial illusions. They’re often tightly cropped, and sometimes they feel like micro/macro views of things in the real world.
 
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.
