A Little Lady Like Tinkling and Smearing

a little ladylike tinkling and smearing is a new exhibition by
Tamara Marwood, playfully subverting the Victorian notion that
women’s participation in the public world is be confined to ‘tinkling’
(embroidery) and ‘smearing’ (painting). Constructed using traditional
techniques of English piecing patchwork, this installation greets the
viewer with a quilted enclosure, structurally supported by wooden
chairs and piles of stacked, lifestyle magazines. Inside, a video
animation featuring the semi nude female figures of Bendigo’s
Alexandra Fountain, flows across the horse hair surface. 

Featuring an annimation collaboration between Tamara and Dylan Fowler.
