Leigh Bowry was a performance artist from Australia who was one of the first to create a female persona to use in his artwork. He transformed himself into a completely different person to perform and his influence echoed through the fashion, music and movie industry. Bowry became a well known figure bringing differnt light to what a performance artist can do, and the changing of oneself to become a new person in your art.
Some of his performances include him giving birth center stage to his partner who was dressed as a large baby covered in placenta. Bowry took performance art in a new direction with his novel ideas for transofrming yourself into the artist, or piece of art you wish to be. He showed us we can all deliver self-expression in any way we like, and we can do it to better ourselves and others.
