BATHURST REGIONAL ART GALLERY EXHIBITION – AMANDA BROMFIELD: THE WOMEN OF HILL END*
February 11, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents Amanda Bromfield: The Women of Hill End – an exhibition paying homage to the past and present women of the historic regional NSW town.
Made from earthenware and hand-sourced ochre from the Hill End region itself, Bromfield’s objects create and reinforce the female narrative that runs strongly through place. Individual women are recognised for their everyday contributions to both the historic and artistic landscape and are rejoiced and celebrated as The Women of Hill End.
In February 2021 Bromfield completed a month-long artist residency at Murrays Cottage in Hill End. The residency enabled Bromfield the opportunity to immerse herself in the history and culture of the close-knit community of the town. Her research discovered the herstories of women who moved to Hill End during the mid-1800s, the women who were the silent foundations on which a town with gold rush fever was built. The women who laughed and cried, married, and suffered marital abuse, raised, taught, and grieved children, helped, supported and tended their families and their community, and made art.
