The Aranda designer's winning work, a pair of giant clay vessels, speaks to the way we lean on each other in both good and bad times.
Using clay hand building techniques and raffia adornments, Lowe’s work 'You and me, us never part' is an ode to his Country and community.
‘You and me, us never part is a declaration of love to my community. These works stand side by side holding their own space while joining in communion. They embrace collectivism and reject the self-made… They stand as witnesses – celebrating, commemorating and holding each other accountable.’
