Towsley’s work responds to place, exploring memory and relationships through a grounding in spirituality and practices of noticing and slowness. Her art making is an inquiry-driven process that moves between the micro and macro of human experience: experience inspiring inquiry, inquiry locating concept, concept guiding material, and material determining process. These cyclical elements lead to acts of acknowledgement, rituals of remembering, and gestures of lament, becoming, and care. She experiments and collaborates with methods and materials in direct response to her questions, returning to fiber processes, ceramics, poetry, and performance as enduring languages of expression. She connects with processes of collection and fragmentation, working with plant fibers, found cloth, family ephemera, thread, clay, and actions and movement that evoke both the mundane and the ceremonial to create a new whole, establish connections, process events, and invite linger and reflection.
