Pack and Follow – The Quilts of Jenny Bowker

Reflecting on treasured memories and her observations of the unique and rich qualities of Arabic culture and Islamic faith, Australian quiltmaker and textile artist Jenny Bowker AO presents ten beautifully composed machine-pieced and quilted artworks in Pack and Follow. The exhibition is inspired by the people she met, the places she lived, and the poetry and politics she experienced during her many years spent as a diplomat’s wife in the Middle East and Islamic countries, including Syria, Jordan, Jerusalem, Egypt, and Malaysia.
