Skirt #5

This is one of thirteen artworks in the series Skirts by Linda Brescia, developed during a community engagement program with women from Kingswood, in Sydney's western suburbs. Each subject was asked to select a piece of fabric to either represent or conceal their identity. With the fabric selected, the women lay down while the artist traced their figure. The result is a series of deeply personal portraits, that enshrine women from our local community in the revered space of the gallery, both physically and now online.
