In Solidarity: Catherine Mclister - jem olsen

2020 - 350 x 120cm
​Embroidery

A few weeks prior to the Eureka uprising on 3 December 1854, Catherine McLister, an Irish immigrant living on the Ballarat goldfields, made a formal complaint of sexual misconduct against her husband's boss - Police Inspector, Captain Gordon Evans. Embroidered onto calico with indigo-dyed and copper-coloured cotton thread, at times at the site of the former Government Camp and Catherine's former residence, this piece serves as a source of reflection on the continued need to better protect and support women against sexual harassment and assault. Catherine died in Geelong three years later from complications during childbirth. She was 32 years old.
