Further Information

Internationally acclaimed ceramicist, Stephen Bowers ​p​resents a flock of birds across a series of plates, portrayed in bright colours against complex, fragmented backgrounds inspired by designs from ceramics, engravings and textiles. ​W​ith ornate patterning ​a​nd inspired by the history of art and design​, these works speak to the idea of pattern-in-nature and nature-in-pattern and reflect on the tensions of humanity’s appropriation of the natural world for our own use, the fragments representing this broken relationship.
