Public Collections
In 2023, just a year after the successful 'OYFC x GV: Queer Reflections' exhibition, Morgan’s 3 puzzle jugs created in response to an object from the GV collection were added to the permanent collection.
Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea
In early 2022, following the Young Welsh Artists exhibition in MOMA Machynlleth, 'Clownface' - a large self portrait drawing in a custom made tufted frame, was purchased by the National Library of Wales.
National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth
Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston
Following UKYA's 'G R A F T' exhibition at The Harris in 2019, Dowdall's work was chosen by the museums' LGBTQ+ group to be added into the permanent collections in order to better reflect Preston's wider community. The works were then featured in The Harris' 'Camp in The Collection' online series.
