Abstract
Work exhibited at the Public Library in Brighton.
A collection of seven embroidered dusters commenting upon the expectations of women within a domestic environment. Popular fairy tale phrases are juxtaposed against definitions of domesticity, brutality, protectiveness and femininity, questioning the promises told through fairy tales to women and girls.
Also exhibited: a collection of poems exploring the role of women in fairy tales with accompanying embroideries.
Please also refer to other entries documenting exhibitions and/or workshops labelled Women and Domesticity that form part of this research output.
