Sexism (detail from The Seven Deadly Isms)

Sexism (The Seven Deadly Isms), (detail), 1992
acrylic on wooden table, dia. 122 cm (48")

Each ism has its own deadly Australian creature... In Sexism, women struggle to unroll a giant scroll listing names of famous women, while I am painting a deadly taipan. Marilyn Monroe bearing the cross symbolises the suffering of women as sex objects.
