"With it which it as it if it is to be" November - December 2016
This was a film called with it which it as it if it is to be. It was screened at MOCA in 2017 and later had a part two exhibition at the Morán Morán. The film was used to capture working artists in their studios as well as shine light on the “intimate spaces of women’s art work” as written by Rachel Valinsky. This film also intended to feature different artists from Gertude Stein's writing, “Many Many women,” (1910). Fowler’s intentions were to create a piece that was about demonstrating the art of creation.
