The Hidden Line

Aileen Sage recently collaborated with curator Sophie O'Brien and the Bundanon Art Museum on the design of ‘The Hidden Line: Art of the Boyd Women’ an exhibition showcasing over 300 works created by five generations of women from the Boyd family, one of Australia’s most prominent artistic dynasties. Historically less acknowledged or celebrated than their male counterparts, their contributions have been impressive and influential.

The exhibition spans painting and printmaking, sculpture and pottery, textiles, design, filmmaking and photography and includes works by Emma Minnie Boyd, Doris Boyd, Lady Mary Nolan, Yvonne Boyd, Lucy Boyd Beck, Hermia Boyd and their descendants still practicing today.

New commissions and recent work by other contemporary Australian women artists are interspersed throughout, including Pat Brassington, Elizabeth Dunn, Diena Georgetti, Helen Johnson, Narelle Jubelin, Camille Laddawan, Tjunkaya Tapaya OAM and Timna Taylor.
