In December 2010 Flowers exhibited a painting that caused local controversy among church leaders in Tasmania, as it depicted Tasmanian devils posed as the famous Last Supper painting. The title of the painting was I hope this is not their last supper and was meant to be an environmental statement about the endangered Tasmanian devil population.[5]
