Opening on 29 February, Making Her Mark: Selected Works from the Collection offers a new appraisal of the work of leading women artists held in the collection of TarraWarra Museum of Art.
Rather than an exhibition that exclusively presents women artists, Making Her Mark also includes the work of male artists in the form of unexpected pairings to present a nuanced conversation about image, composition and mark-making where women take centre stage. Taking the themes of works by female artists as its starting point—such as the role of memory, a connection to the Australian landscape and the pursuit of abstraction—art by women is not seen as a category, but as a catalyst.
Presented in thematic clusters, the exhibition includes works by Davida Allen, Yvonne Audette, Kate Beynon, Angela Brennan, Virginia Cuppaidge, Janet Dawson, Lesley Dumbrell, Rosalie Gascoigne, Denise Green, Melinda Harper, Louise Hearman, Inge King, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Joanna Lamb, Janet Laurence, Hilarie Mais, Rosslynd Piggott, Angelina Pwerle, Norma Redpath, Sally Smart, Ann Thompson, Aida Tomescu, Michelle Ussher, Jenny Watson and Judy Watson.
