Maiden Mother Crone

A colourful painting of a woman with a pink background.

Overview

Age-old archetypes that have long confined women collide in this exhibition of contemporary artists Del Kathryn Barton, Emily Hunt and Jess Johnson. Exhibiting together for the first time and presenting works that span painting, sculpture, drawings, ceramics, and video work, Barton, Hunt and Johnson create a cacophony of disruptive female energy in Maiden Mother Crone.

Featuring new works by each artist, the exhibition shows us how portraiture can be a vessel for contradiction and transformation, and how the bright and the beautiful can coexist with the dark and distasteful.

Be bewitched, leave transformed.
