Notes
Client: Artworkers Union NSW. Signed 'Debenaire' pseudonym for Debenham. Sub-text: 'I'll take you to the Artworkers Union' - The Gender Solution Dance! - This was during the time of Artworkers Union dealing with public gallery institution on better representation of women artists. Using a bodgie and widgie image in stereotype roles with the woman undermining that role by the text.
