Description
Ben Bowling is Professor of Criminology at at Kings College London, and the son of the celebrated painter Frank Bowling, whose studio he now manages. "Frank always wanted children, but did not want to be a father, because of his own father’s violence; by being an absent father through my infancy and childhood, Frank allowed me to re-write the script of fatherhood."One thing that is joyous about working in the studio is being able to involve my son, who’s now in his 30’s, and his son, who’s two and a half. The fact that we now have four generations of male Bowlings in the studio, coming together around the work, is a source of joy. It’s almost like we disrupted this old pattern of what fatherhood should be."Scaffold is an Architecture Foundation production, hosted by Matthew Blunderfield Hosted on Acast.
