Artefacts from the 20th Century, Sutton Gallery, Melbourne, 2000

Gower emerged in the 1970s as a pioneering feminist artist, and is known for her ingenious formal manipulation and transformation of materials. She recycles and collages remnants of popular culture to create exquisite optical patterns and explore ideas of consumerism and consumption. Her work typically involves cutting up and intricately collaging—onto drafting film, canvas or paper surfaces—collected printed ephemera, packaging material and magazine pages.
