This is a selection of nine from the 18 large works and many smaller works included in Bathing Belles, Jennie Pry's acclaimed show, held at the Bondi Pavilion, early 2009
Since my return to painting and drawing in 2004, I have experimented with still life and the theatre of objects, portraiture and narrative work. I have pushed myself in new directions and enjoyed seeing my work change and come back to teach me something new. Most significantly, I have rediscovered my passion for drawing and have embarked on an ink wash and charcoal journey filled with vintage bathing suits, personal possessions and stories (real or imagined) of the women who filled them. Memory, nostalgia and the transitional phases of womanhood are themes that appear to be drifting through my current work.
