I did not expect myself to be so fascinated with this lecture, however it left me in a state of… confusion. I should say… good confusion. Fowler presented he’s body of works over the past decade, but not in chronological order. It was awe inspiring to hear how he’s ideas and concepts transgressed as he continued to make his art. Many of his works left me asking, ‘what is he trying to show through this work?’ Whether it was goats walking around a set, lambs drinking milk from fake teats, or a women portraying Venus and graphically retrieving flowers from her vulva. Now, a few days on from the lecture, I’m still left unsure of how I feel about the work, if I was in a gallery showing it, would I stay and watch it? Regardless of personal taste, it was a priceless insight into an artists life work. Unlike previous lectures, it was the first time that the lecturer truly discussed how their concepts have changed so greatly over time, and yet they can all be traced back to one base concept.
