bio

Eden McDowell is an object and installation based sculptor currently living in London, UK, whilst attending the MFA Fine Arts course at Goldsmiths University.

She received her BFA in sculpture from the Maine College of Art in 2017. She is a 2018 awardee of the St. Boltoph Club Foundation's Emerging Artist Grant for sculpture and has recently shown her work at the New Systems Exhibitions in Portland, Maine, Kelley Stelling Contemporary in Manchester, NH, and the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition in Brooklyn, NY. McDowell received an honorable mention from the 2017 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center.

McDowell’s practice involves walking and taking pictures of sculptural drawings left by passerby as well as re-salvaging or simulating material from local discard. Her sculptures explore the recovery of the old and the stripping of domestic or industrial practice through bare form.
