 Fountain of dreams, ceramic and glazes, 26cm x 23cm x 26cm, 2023

2023 'In the arms of unconsciousness - Women, feminism and the surreal' Hazelhurst Arts Centre

This page is a work in progress as I’m still uploading my installation shots and details of every work.

This exhibition featuring 22 of Australia’s leading and significant female contemporary artists launched on the 30 June 2023 6pm at Hazelhurst Arts Centre Sydney and is curated by Carrie Kibbler. The exhibition aims to look at the links between feminism and surrealism in Australian art. It is a cross generational survey exhibition that includes loaned existing works and new commissioned works and will be the first large scale landmark exhibition looking solely at women artists and the surreal in Australia. The exhibition proposes that there has been an intrinsic link between feminism and the surreal, particularly in Australia, and this current wave is most notable since 2012 in that it aligns with the fourth wave of feminism.

Artists include: Del Kathryn Barton | Vivienne Binns | Pat Brassington | Louisa Chircop | Lynda Draper | Freya Jobbins | Deborah Kelly | Madeleine Kelly | Juz Kitson | Honey Long & Prue Stent I Lucy O'Doherty | Jenny Orchard I Jill Orr | Patricia Piccinini | Caroline Rothwell | Julie Rrap | Marikit Santiago | Jelena Telecki | Anne Wallace | Kaylene Whiskey | Amanda Williams
