Maile Bowen is a multidisciplinary artist drawn to creating works that invite a sense of mindfulness and quiet. During her time at PICA she will finish developing her work produced at her residency in Scotland with An Lanntair. The work developed will explore the re-introduction of a once wiped out sea eagle in remote Scotland to examine the resilience of nature and Indigenous land practices in the age of the Anthropocene.  

Working with the local indigenous community on the Isle of Lewis, Maile will examine both her own relationship to land as a mixed race Hawaiian and Welsh person and the community’s dedication to continuing language and land based practices. Her time at PICA will include finishing a video work and publication from Scotland, in collaboration with Perth graphic designer Desmond Tan.
