ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
In Flows Like Water, Bowie Ma’s first solo exhibition opening May 5 at Four Chapter Gallery, they use tactile materials such as ceramics and fiber to convey personal emotions and memories. Bowie uses water as an inspiration for their work because of the metaphorical way that water can take on many different forms: it is necessary for life, but can also be destructive. The materials they use shrink, crack, break, explode, melt, and decay. This vulnerability exhibited through a material process is what Bowie is interested in exploring.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Bowie Ma is a Chinese-American, non-binary artist who was born and raised in Miami, Florida. They are currently attending Kansas City Art Institute to obtain their Bachelor of Fine Arts and minor in Asian Studies. In Miami, Florida, Bowie received their Associate’s Degree in Art from Miami Dade College and studied abroad in Hungary at the International Ceramic Studio in Kecskemét, Hungary. They have been a part of group exhibitions in both Florida and Missouri and have received both the Rita and Irwin Blitt Scholarship for International Travel and the Award of Excellence in Fiber.
