Perry Owens is a fabricator, artist, and game developer with a passion for surrealism. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of abstract reality, he creates art that encourages viewers to experience their world through an altered lens. Whether through digital or physical fabrication, he enjoys the act of creation with his hands. Striving to craft art that has layers of interpretation, he enhances the communication of his message with physical dimension. Incorporating elements of contrast and motion, his pieces express a stylized view of their reality. By interacting with the many facets of his projects, he envisions his audience will re-imagine their world with a new perspective.
