Temporal Passage explores the concept of time as a fluctuating geography. Depicting a journey in search of greater awareness, Temporal Passage serves as a pictorial notebook through abstract landscapes. This body of work primarily focuses on intaglio techniques on Japanese paper, however in her own practice, Ovens works in a variety of media.
