"You are going to be working within traditions, if you choose to be an artist," says Behrens. "… And it's up to you to find those traditions and understand how they may be relevant to you… [Bowitz] also understands the limitations of that, and that's why cutting to fit into his tree of knowledge is so important."
Tree of Knowledge is part of theSioux City Art Center's permanent collection and can be seen now in the Permanent Collection on View exhibition.
