Deborah Bowness likes to put the objects that inhabit our homes — file cabinets, books, lamps, chairs — on our walls. Her wall panels (shown is New Antique Books) are portraits, in effect, and Bowness uses them to endow our objects with meaning. Each panel starts with a black-and-white photograph, which Bowness silk-screens and finishes with tinted ink. The look is arty with a touch of Warhol, like vintage photographs with a kick of Technicolor. In addition to her stock inventory, Bowness creates custom panels, where her oeuvre extends beyond objects to anything she can photograph. deborahbowness.com.
