“The artist regards the borderland as a latent body. One that we come to interact with directly and indirectly on a daily basis. By extension, Nowak’s new body of work––however disparate they may appear on the surface––may be similarly regarded as a singular entity. As if beholding the tunneled body from multiple perspectives simultaneously across time, an amalgam of viewpoints, conditions, and temporalities connected by a shared point of arrival and return. To comprehend it as such, however, requires submitting to the artist’s perpetual state of vision shifting as explored through questions of scale. How many Devils sit on a needle’s end? Rather than seeking an answer to this question through the space of art, what Nowak deftly effects is a blurring of the borders between animate and inanimate, intelligible and incomprehensible, engaging artmaking as a tool for resignification.”
