Eidola of SetThe Art of Skullflower

Matthew Bower & Samantha Davies - Eidola of Set
The magical drawings and works of Samantha Davies and Matthew Bower of the noise-rock band Skullflower, which invoke and evoke the Egyptian god Set.
"A magickal partnership invoke and evoke Set, inviting Him into their lives. An heroic magickal working as they are fully cogniscent of his nature which can be described as destructive, shifty, reviled, baleful, dangerous and alien. And crucial too, if one considers is role in the Osiris myth. The current is earthed by manifesting it with ink, paint, sculpture, word and found object. The act of publication allows us to admire the endeavour and its result, and it may also be, in effect, the final banishing for the participants."
Matthew Bower and Samantha Davies play together in Skullflower, a cult improvisational noise rock band and a cornerstone of the English underground scene, founded by Bower in the 1980s.
