SCULPTURES

by MILES LOWRY

​

“The torso is the house of the heart. In archaeology it is also what is left behind. Having endured the onslaught of time the torso becomes an unwitting symbol of the ancient world. An incomplete figure. In contemporary times the fragmented figure appeals both to those who seek antiquity and those who arrive with new eyes. Here the body acts as a mirror. Through the understanding of our own vulnerabilities and desires the sculptures made of fibre and paint become something else, something for the heart and mind. With this work I consider the torso as a potent symbol of our times, revealing its histories yet becoming the sensuous vulnerable housing we are given to embody each day." Miles Lowry - Victoria 2018

AMPHORAE SERIES

by MILES LOWRY and GEORGIA ANGELPOPOULOS

 

Miles Lowry and Georgia Angelopoulos have worked collaboratively,  sharing the same paper and brush in their 2016 show A Broken Hallelujah. They have recently shown their work in North Carolina and in California. Using Lowry’s cast cotton fibre forms, the two artists present the amphora as carriers of poetic fragments inspired by their respective cultures, their own poetry, or words of the great poets. Long and elegant, these handleless amphoras also take on the shape of ballistic shells or ancient tool heads.
