Delving into the complex and multifaceted relationship between women and birds, this exhibition brings together contemporary artists whose works explore themes of freedom, identity, transformation, and the natural world. The symbiotic relationship between women and birds is on show here, as is how this connection can reflect deeper personal and societal issues.
Artists include: Michelle Cawthorn, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Lucy Culliton, Denise Faulkner, Dianne Fogwell, Kim V. Goldsmith, Kim Harding, Petrina Hicks, Anna-Wili Highfield, Nicole Ison, Leila Jeffreys, Deborah Kelly, Aleshia Lonsdale, Fleur MacDonald, Michelle Steven, and Pamela Welsh.
