Drawing on history, natural science, various artistic traditions and pop culture, Bowers creates poetic collages within his exquisitely detailed ceramics.
He uses the rich tradition of ceramic history – patterns, illustrations and images – to speak to the present in a contemporary, witty and Australian way. This exhibition features beautifully decorated charges and vases as well as more quirky pieces such as a ‘Willow Kangaroo’ surfboard.
