Work

Kilburn Cherry is a collection of photographs of cherry blossoms in Kilburn, London, [1] traditionally the home of the Irish diaspora. [2] The work was inspired by Japanese renku poetry. [2] Bowe has said the "bold appearance of the cherry blossom seemed to play with ideas of hopefulness and revival". [2]

At Mirrored River was made over four years in an unspecified Irish midlands town. [1] [3] It contains portraits of young people at a point of transition to adulthood, depicted in their home setting of housing estates, supermarkets and social functions, juxtaposed with images of the town and its surrounding landscape.
