“Like my kith and kin before me, I swagger-staggered in high heels, and I wore a dress and hat to church. But my fabulous tail often fell below my hemline, and my ears twitched until my hat pitched, at the very least, down over both my eyes, and sometimes clear across the room…’ 

‘...This house is alive, bursting with enthusiasm, with joyous life. These attributes are the main fundaments of the archetypal psyche of Wild Woman; a joyous and wild life force, where houses dance, where inanimates such as mortars fly like birds, where the old woman can make magic, where nothing is what it seems, but for the most part, is far better than it seemed to begin with.” 

from ‘Women who run with the wolves’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estés 

This exhibition grew out of our desire to celebrate our community—the women we are, the women we know, and the women we’ve yet to meet. There’s no need to remind anyone how rough the world feels right now, which is exactly why coming together matters. The artwork for this exhibition was selected through a free open call, selected by Small Works co-directors and artists Sylwia Narbutt and Monica Perez Vega and guest judge, Rose Davey, artist and director of Corner7 project space. All work is available for sale with 60% to the artist, 40% split to fund both Outhouse Gallery and Small Works CIC programming. 

Let’s support one another, stick close, and make things feel a little lighter, even if only for a moment…all work made by artists identifying as women and carers.
