Paying homage to our namesake Satin Bowerbird, issue one’s theme is birds, and features a myriad of artists, designers and makers who have taken inspiration from our feathered friends.
The issue begins with an exploration of blue by our Artistic Director Cal Douglas. Pages from his sketchbook span original drawings, haikus, art history and cultural references.
Next savour the breathtakingly beautiful work of photographer Yamamoto Masao with images selected especially for BOWER by him and compositions by his wife Reiko.
