This was a key image in my 2023 solo exhibition "Of Dingoes & Witch-hunts."
The exhibition explored the stories of Julia Gillard and Lindy Chamberlain, exposing the persisting limitations placed on women by Australian society.
We are told what roles we can play, and then, how we can play them.
I asked the audience to reflect on the modern-day incarnation of the witch-hunt.
This painting references the misogynistic labelling of our first female PM as a witch and a bitch. It also refers to media commentary on her hair colour, the way she dressed, and the size of her arse.
