In the vein if inspirational local female artists the "cause we can" exhibition at the Somedays gallery, whilst not excluding male artists, brought to the gallery-goers attention some fine female art. Kareena Zerefos - who has also been published in YEN's annual Curvy book - showed her whimsical and nostalgic illustrations, which explore the ephemeral in themes of isolation and escapism. Love Ariel sends a stronger message with her overtly sexualised and bloodied female portraits. However confronting, the female viewer cannot help but feel empowered! And finally Laura Mckellar's work demands attention. At first sight, very cute, the old-world colours and gold gilt embroidery draw you in but take two and the jagged collage of dolls bodies and animal parts, ala Gondry's Science of Sleep, become apparent and send you into another world. If you want more, the Somedays Gallery opens an exhibition fortnightly.
