Natasha Bowdoin  Artist Statement All sorts of animals were turning up. In no particular order, haphazardly, cutting school. If I forced things the resistance would reach such a pitch that certain animals, interupted by a huge hole, lacked even half a body to show. An unbelievably absurd accident depriving them of their basics. One has made a inner choice of which one was not aware, which does not coincide with our known predilections. As to our vision of creatures and things, what we see is just as much a matter of exclusion as inclusion. There are no innocent gazes. -Henri Michaux (from Stroke by Stroke) Curriculum Vitae Education 2006-7 MFA Candidate in Painting Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Rome, Italy 2005 Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio Art, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 2003 BA in Studio Art and Classical Ancient History/Archaeology, Magna cum laude Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 2002 Painting and Drawing Study, Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, England Exhibitions  2006 Seven in a Box, curated by Cecilia Canziani, Temple University Gallery, Rome, Italy 2006 Ignite Annual, Artworks Gallery, Trenton, NJ 2006 Works on Paper, Arcadia University Art Gallery, Glenside, PA 2005 Painting Here, Doran Gallery, Mass College of Art, Boston, MA 2005 Visual Prospects, Dreitzer Gallery, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 2005 Boston Annual Juried Printmaking Show, 808 Gallery, Boston, MA 2004 Drawing Now, Dreitzer Gallery, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 2004 Post-Baccalaureate Thesis Show, Dreitzer Gallery, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA Honors/Awards 2006 Project Completion Grant Recipient, Tyler School of Art, Elkins Park, PA 2006 Nomination for Dedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship, Tyler School of Art, Elkins Park, PA 2005 Nomination for Jacob K.
