‘One of Many’ by @JenniferTrouton considers societal and religious impositions on the lives of Irish women. Paintings and textiles explore autonomy, reproductive rights, gender roles and domesticity. From Mater Natura: The Abortionist’s Garden. Opens next week @NaughtonGallery.
First published in 1982, Mrs Caliban by Rachel Ingalls, is a story of an unhappily married woman who falls in love with a large amphibian. So astute on desire, attraction and the suffocating nature of domestic labour. A brilliant b-movie of a novella. @FaberBooks reissue out 05/8
