Jenny Tyack, The journey, 2017, Paint and crockery fragment collage on satellite dish, 96 x 86 x 6cm. Photograph: Amanda Galea.
In this exhibition, Jenny Tyack has drawn a thread from the past to the present in the way that women have been seen as visual icons such as hags, witches and enchantresses. Jenny explores this dynamic with the actual roles women have taken, holding families together, mending and stitching, doing the necessary to bring the broken together.
