Excerpt:
“Placing Owens’ abstracts in the context of redaction seems to highlight the inherent juxtaposition of Skully: a childhood game played in West Baltimore and, now, an exhibition in a new, crisp gallery space in Bolton Hill. Some elements of the artist’s past are carried over and visible; others, I’m sure, remain blocked out, obscured. A redaction, however, does not negate that there is something to glean here. And for some, redactions spark intrigue.”
