Living Art in Motion
Process-driven work exploring memory, material, and transformation.
Bridgette Owens is a multicultural artist from Aotearoa New Zealand, now based in Colorado. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts and works across mixed media, photography, printmaking, large-scale installation, and botanical design.
Her practice is rooted in process - exploring memory, material, and sustainability through layered works that move between intimate studio pieces and immersive environments.
Process + Material + Form
Process + Transformation
Installation + Environment
Material + Sustainability
The process begins with breaking things apart - images, materials, moments - then reworking them through layering and repetition. Pieces evolve slowly, shaped through making, where meaning shifts and something new begins to emerge..
Material + Sustainability
Installation + Environment
Material + Sustainability
Some materials are hand-dyed and crafted from lost and found elements, others are grown intentionally. Sustainability is something the practice continually works toward, with a focus on reducing waste and using what already exists where possible. Materials are gathered over time - some foraged, some sourced -and often reused and reworked across pieces.
Works on Paper
Installation + Environment
Installation + Environment
Works on paper begin with photographic fragments drawn from lived experience. Cut and layered, the pieces come together to form whimsical, garden-like compositions - where individual elements shift and settle into new formations.

At a larger scale, the work moves into space - forming immersive, garden-like environments that can be walked through and experienced. Materials interact with light, structure, and movement, shifting as the viewer moves within them.
