Group exhibition, curated by Helen Gory, Backwoods Gallery, Melbourne, 2021
“More than ever, art is a place of sense-making, of meaning-making. A means of both provocation and consolation, for ourselves and for our communities. The ten artists chosen here are all local women working in painterly forms, artists whose diverse practices have been shaped this past year by the limitations (and freedoms) of the global pandemic—shaped by home, children, domesticity, solitude. In remaking the familiar, in the details of life, art can be a way forward to collective hope, the promise of a future unbounded, pierced with light.”
— Helen Gory
The title Square of Sunlight is borrowed from Judith Wright’s poem ‘The Sisters’ (1949)
