Mark Gowing lives and works on Gadigal/Wangal country, Sydney, Australia. Through a practice spanning more than 35 years he has developed a personal inquiry into the poetry of form, grid and rhythm that he investigates using abstracted applications of text. Gowing’s practice centres around the conceptual understanding of languages – graphic, written, oral or cultural. In order to question our innate understandings, Gowing’s works often explore his written phrasing within a lyrical context, expressing visually discernable musical rhythms and frequencies. His work is held in numerous institutional collections including the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, USA.
