A new exhibition at the House of Smalls called ‘The Ascent of Man’ prompted me to create a new piece of work called ‘Stand Your Ground’ for the Dollhouse gallery.
The exhibition takes place at The House of Smalls, 103 Henderson Row, Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3 5BB from the 23rd May – 21st June 2025.
“Oppression, repression and suppression as we lose our rights, our choices, our spaces, this is a call for art from Women who have something to say, to shout, to scream.” ~ The House of Smalls.
Stand Your Ground
The exhibition theme made me think of the women in my own family and the good advice I’ve received from them over the years. This is one little nugget – good advice from the strong women in my life.
When it comes to domineering men – “Stand your ground and give as good as you get”.
Size 11.5 x 11.5cm. Hand embroidered with vintage Sylko thread.
This piece forms part of a series of small works created for the House of Smalls.
Update June 2025:
Thank you to Amy at the The House of Smalls for the following Dollhouse exhibition images.
