24 September – 17 October 2009
Enjoy Public Art Gallery
Wellington, NZ

All in different stages of their careers, Lynn, Walker and Sklenars‘ individual practices deal with contemporary trajectories relevant to the female experience. Collectively, they speak to a wider social conscience, responsibility, and identity within New Zealand society.

Curated by Siv B. Fjaerestad, the exhibition is bound by a strong graphic language – driven by process – with works ranging from technically complex prints, to abstraction and digital manipulation. The show also includes works from a series exhibited in the Enjoy gallery space 38 years prior, then the Bett Duncan Gallery, in March/April, 1971.
