HAYDEN FOWLER: THE
LONG FORGETTING
Fowler researched and
produced this work during his Samstag Scholarship, where he undertook one year’s
study in Berlin, Germany. Interested in the tribal origins of European culture,
Fowler under went genetic tests to identify his own Paleolithic culture of
origin and visited a number of relevant cave sites across Spain, France and
Germany. With a particular interest in the art and symbolism of this period,
indicating an integrated spiritual relationship with ritual and the natural
world, Fowler taps into a deeper and historical spirituality surrounding Western
humanities original place in nature, expanding the ongoing theme of his
practice.
