Bowie Flowers

From the depths of Tumblrland comes Bowie Flowers, a visual journey through iconic images of David Bowie paired with lush foliage and loving musical homage from Perth’s own Matt Penny. Inspired by the colours, shapes, and composition of the David Bowie photos, the artist has scoured the Internet to find the perfect flowers to represent the image.
