Harriet Bowman

Harriet Bowman is a multidisciplinary artist based in Bristol. She works between writing and sculpture shifting between a material-led practice and written works that accompany, are performed alongside or stand in for sculpture with a particular interest in translating extensive details of industrial processes into written form interwoven with autofiction in an attempt to build notions of sculpture and material through text.

Recent exhibitions include Maybe they had an urgent call [touring], Exeter Phoenix, Exeter and VOLT, Eastbourne; All Round-er (sad sale), Spike Island, Bristol; putting my foot down, OUTPOST, Norwich; Text included TACO! Dreamtimes free publication and ART LICKS city edition.

Bowman was awarded Arts Council England DYCP grant in 2021; Parenting Artist Residency, Cow House Studios, Wexford, 2022 and is currently working towards a solo show at MIRROR, Plymouth. She has recently been nominated and is recipient of a Henry Moore Foundation Artist Award; is part of the Axis Fellowship cohort, 2023 and a WEVAA Research and Development bursary, 2023.
