Elizabeth Darling - “Choices women make”

For more than 30 years Elizabeth Darling has been a member of the Macedon Ranges community. Now as the community changes and struggles to adapt, while still maintaining its identity, she offers her reflections on the choices confronting the contemporary women of the Macedon Ranges.

[They said I could work From Home]

Using pen and wash she explores some of the issues they confront including

• Do blondes have more fun?

• Can I work from home?

• Go or Stay? Bushfire alert.

• Ice on road - travel at 40 km/hr (do I really want to work in Melbourne?)

• Mobile range (do we really want to live in the back-blocks?)

Her view has been sharpened by her training in education, her participation in the local Zonta International project Connecting Women’s Voices, and participation in a collaborative writing project, Unexpected Consequences.

Elizabeth follows up her earlier Kyneton exhibition A Festival Town, and a recent exhibition at the Lyceum Club in Melbourne. She invites you to share her delight in the modern life of women, and enjoy her whimsical view of common conundrums.

StudioWhites is in 134 Mollison Street, opposite the Kyneton Town Hall, just down from the Shamrock Hotel, and next door to the Country Cob Bakery where they sell fresh coffee early in the morning, and yummy pies and custard tarts!!
