The programme was commenced with exciting works by Hannah Christy and Madeline Wynne
Working with food, text, clothing, photography, and sculpture Hannah Christy responds to the context of ART through the relationship between things and sensations, ponytails and ribbons, appendages and bee stings.
Madeline Wynne’s Rita’s Sampler is a crafted act and product of idolatry that speaks to the figure of Rita Hayworth and the metamorphic stages of womanhood. It features hand-stitched extracts of Rita’s diary in the artists ‘made-up’ language, ‘reflecting a long history of female iconography and gendered spiritual manifestations of celestial, discarnate forces from ancient goddess worship to anthropomorphised representations of natural worlds.
