Branded skin, broken vessel
Took a job in the city
making matchsticks
To start other men's fires

I always think of these bowerbirds lyrics from ‘matchstick maker’ when I think of her, which is often 💔

Winter corn 🌽 being sick and slowly building strength to get out walking, a reminder to take care; to not take simple things like being immersed in the sound of wind 💨 on corn for granite. (And honey barking at me to quit being weird and hurry up) Put it back together slower, stronger, smarter🤞🏼🛠️❤️‍🩹

Showing some work in porcelain slip cast pieces (A first for me!)

Bite Series, porcelain and glaze, 2022, D’Andrea Bowie

When asked to contribute work towards a dental themed art show, as a sculptor and maker the opportunity to think collaboratively alongside dentistry was exciting. A tour of Shaw dental laboratories completely blew my mind! The level of skill, craft and leading edge technology make my glaze making studio appear rudimentary. Throughout my practice, I am constantly looking for opportunities to be led by material and process; to create connections that are not always obvious and provide new perspectives. There were many stations at Shaw labs that spoke to my material practice however I chose to narrow in on ceramics, specifically porcelain. A mold was taken with alginate of a bitten apple then a positive plaster was used to create a plaster mold for slip casting. While at first the simple act of biting an apple and the necessity of having healthy teeth is obvious; the state of the fruit collapsing indicates an underlying feminist critique of a biblical narrative that often operates to undermine the moral character of women. Now, more than ever, it is necessary to stand in solidarity with women world wide, fighting for liberty over oppressive precepts.
