| The Bower Tower
Project is a long term collaborative art project between Ian
Hamilton and John Hayward which began in 2010. The project combines
elements of nature and architecture as mediums for exploring
notions related to the environment, structure making and human
creativity. Until now these ideas have manifested as open air
art installations at places as diverse at the Queensland rainforest,
the Arid Lands Botanic Park at Port Augusta, and the Adelaide
hills region. |

continuing investigation of art making and structure building.
