Gretal Ferguson: Statement
Women’s Work explores the changing roles of women in craft and society, commenting on the perception of what women do versus what we are actually capable of. By combining the traditionally masculine craft of silversmithing with hand stitching, this exhibition endeavours to challenge the entrenched gender roles within craft and society while paying homage to those before.
“Being a female artist in a traditionally masculine craft I often find myself having to prove my skill and knowledge before being taken seriously. By combining the laborious craft of silversmithing with the feminine art of embroidery I hope to challenge these entrenched gender roles while paying homage to those before me.”
