She exhibition – City of Dandenong

Art Exhibition, Sunday Arts Magazine, Visual Arts

The exhibition SHE has over 20 years of history at the Walker Street Gallery. SHEof mind and body depicts the multilayered and complicated aspects of being a Woman today. It showcases the depth of textiles as a medium and its ability to speak without words. While there was a time, when the medium was considered merely a form of craft, more recent discourse has placed it at the forefront of contemporary art.

Historically, depictions of the female body have held a male gaze and the focus is on male constructed ideals. Ironically, despite some cultural shifts to invert this depiction, the power and ubiquitous nature of social media has created greater anxiety in how ideals are constructed. Particularly, by those who are yet to form their identity, not to mention the hyper-reality rarely being reflective of the real. This exhibition offers the opportunity to create SHE of mind and body and allow a new depiction by and for Women.
