About
The Art of Suff-Rage
|
|
|
Artists Ursula Dutkiewicz and Fern Smith have
joined forces creating The Age of Suff-Rage travelling art installation.
One hundred ceramic suffragists along with a commemorative banner
will be used to demonstrate the courage and determination of
the women whose rage brought about the vote for Victorian women.
The project illustrates the amazing time when women broke the
chains that tied them to the house by becoming political and
realizing their power. In Victoria the struggle was harder and
took far longer to achieve, being the last state in Australia
to give women the vote, as the senate kept blocking bills enabling
women's suffrage.

FERN SMITH
Fern Smith is journeying on the rich diverse use of women artists
and demonstration banners from 1870's to 1920 in Australia, England,
and America. A banner is a rallying point, a visual form of identity,
a clarion call and symbol to re-interpret both genres. Smith an
established and accomplished artist utilizes many mediums to convey
fragility and respect for the individual, the content informed
from extensive research. Smith works held in private collections
in England, America and throughout Australia
