Images in the media of women marching, calling out injustice and inequality, provoked a photographic response from artist, Charmaine Lyons. In a portraiture gallery of two hundred Ordinary/Extraordinary women, Charmaine captures the essence, the voice, of each subject as Women United.
With diverse images of women in their own spaces, we are challenged to reflect on and respond to, the embodied story in each portrait.
