[Exhibition] Woman's Work by Caroline Telfer: PCP, Sat 26/5 - Sun 10/6


In a wheatbelt town of only 200 people, a local photographer caused a big stir by posting an add in the local newspaper - ‘nude models wanted!’ The town of Darkan is feeling very nervous. Join us to see why!

PCP invites you to join us and the residents of Darkan for the opening of ‘Womans Work’, a solo exhibition by photographer Caroline Telfer, who has created a candid series based on the domestic life of women in a tiny country town.

I wish I was the sort of woman who could enjoy domestic chores! I have
great respect for the people, be they men or women, who stay at home and care
for their family.


These images feature women doing everyday things, household chores, and
wifely, motherly type activities. The women are faceless and nameless; they may
not be valued for who they are but for what they do.

A woman is usually judged by her appearance. These are not women being
sexy in a glossy magazine. These are women who care about their husbands and
their families. They have bared themselves for art and I thank them for
that.

Caroline Telfer
The opening starts at 5:00pm on Saturday the 26th of May and the exhibition runs until Sunday the 10th of June.

Gallery opening hours Thursday to Sunday 12:00 - 5:00pm
