Review - The Sydney Morning Herald Spectrum- Art Critic John McDonald
It’s not everyday you’re reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald’s art critic John McDonald. It’s not everyday you get a couple of mentions.
Was such a thrill to discover this great article in Saturday’s Art and Design columns The surreal deal: Art inspired by the unspeakable about our exhibition ‘In the arms of unconsciousness - Women, feminism and the surreal’ curated by Carrie Kibbler at Hazelhurst Arts Centre. Not to mention, it was a double thrill to find my artwork published on the header of the review on his website.
This landmark first cross-generational exhibition currently showcasing 22 leading and significant Australian female artists aims to look at the links between feminism and surrealism in Australian art and is on at Hazelhurst’s Art Centre until the September 3rd 2023.
