“Green Fountain is an ecstatic rendering of a fantastical garden. Bowles' garden depicts a pool surrounded by animals and plants and crystal rock formations with three intricate collage works punctuating the walls of the gallery.

Using everyday craft techniques including screen-printing, marbleizing, stenciling, and collage, Bowles embraces the domestic means of disposable decorative supplies to create a camp idealization of a garden. Bowles' garden is a heartfelt and joyful monument to verdure. Inspired by The Unicorn Tapestries and illustrations of formal gardens, Bowles garden is both romantically sublime and tawdry. Her obsessive patterns render millefleurs by way of Michaels. Bowles' "in my room" DIY style of everyday decorative artistic pursuits is apt for the vitrine like gallery that is on view 24/7 and faces a public street; the democratic articulation of a personal vision.”
