About the Artwork

Facing Forward Looking Back (iv) evokes inner and outer landscapes through a sculptural form poised between presence and absence, solidity and void. Referencing the earth as both vessel and witness, chalk shaped by deep time speaks to cyclicality and transformation.
Alluding to hidden stories of loss, its pierced form gilded with copper leaf reflects light, the emptiness is full, creating a threshold of gaze and reflection. In this exchange between interior and exterior, matter and light, the work gestures toward renewal and reintegration.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mary Norowzian (b.1958) is an emerging artist whose abstract sculptures explore memory, trauma, and healing. Stone, shaped through compression and time is a metaphor for lived experience including damage and repair. Through direct carving, she engages in a meditative dialogue with material, technique, and emotion, creating haptic forms. Following a career in counselling and mental health, she established her studio practice in 2019, gaining a First Class BA (Hons) at West Dean College of Arts (2025). Exhibition highlights include the GraduateArt Show Global at Vanner Gallery (2025), London Craft Week (2025), and South Downs Open (2024).
