I have entered this Drypoint Print into the "The Undergraduate" Exhibition and Awards.
Free of Ties sits in a current series called Monocultural to Multicultural, a series exploring some of the diverse cultures that have made Australia a multicultural society. The series, through representations of the female form, explores how the woman stays the same while the cultural garb is changed and evolves over time and movement. Free of Ties, portraying a woman completely free of cultural baggage, represents the meta woman, the woman at her core free from her past and present. This freedom is represented in the work by the simplicity of presentation. The only ornament is the gold chine cole, at the base, implies both the waves of the ocean and the golden path to her future.
