Her-Art Work
Opening Event
6pm till 9pm on Friday the 7th of March 2025
Exhibiton runs until 4pm Friday the 28th of March 2025.
Her-Art Work invites artists and audiences to explore the vast and multifaceted nature of womanhood. This inclusive group exhibition celebrates the strength, vulnerability, diversity, and beauty of women in all their forms—across cultures, identities, and experiences. Through a dynamic array of artistic expressions, Her-Art Work seeks to honour the voices, stories, and perspectives that define and reshape our understanding of what it means to be a woman or a person who affiliates with women. The theme encourages participating artists to reflect on the universal and unique aspects of femininity while fostering conversations that uplift, challenge, and inspire.

Why do I think IWD is important?
It's important to acknowledge to contribution of women, all the work undertaken daily, esp the unpaid, unrecognized, such as caring for home, hearth & children, the all too many tasks & juggles to keep a home functioning & safe for all
The contribution of women in the workplace, where we/they are still waiting equal pay & conditions (compared to males).
The contribution of women who, sometimes at risk to themselves, speak out loudly about the issues impacting on women & children, locally, in Australia & worldwide- who call out the misogyny, racism, violence & the oppressive systems that keep women from full & proper opportunities.
And finally, celebrating IWD because women deserve to be celebrated.
From the infant to the Crone, we make up more than half the population (but get far less of the resources & laws of support).
Women are the life givers, life bearers & the light carriers

Over 900 women have been murdered in gendered violence in Australia since 2012. My project visually documents ALL these women. This panel shows 35 women (one of 35 panels to date) that were murdered since the first two weeks of January 2012 - 2024.
Process: The women are drawn in Procrateon an iPad. The files are then sent to Lightburn, traced and edited. They are then etched and cut on 3mm plywood using a Falcon 40W Laser cutter. The plywood is then painted, sealed and photographed.
The images for the women are sourced from newspaper photographs which I then draw because of copyright issues and poor and irregular images. Often there are no image of the women to be found so stock photos are used.
The descriptor, 'Unknown' women may be used due to cultural protocols or to protect a woman and her familiy's privacy. As time goes on, court cases are heard, sentences are handed down and then names become available. This project is totally self funded.
I make daily posts on the anniversairies of their deaths on Paulette Hayes Artist on FB and preah_pithu on Instagram. I can be contacted on preahpithu4artist@gmail.com or 0497847594. Paulette Hayes.

In A Misty Moonlight

Wandering through the forest after dusk. The magic of a woodland dell springs into life from the moonlight. As moonbeams catch the swirling mist, who knows who will join you.
