“Women’s Work,” the new exhibit showcasing at Brenau University’s Sellars Gallery, takes a new look at the idea of traditional female roles and tasks. In the past, women may have been required to sew, crochet or quilt to supplement their family income or because they had no other choice, whereas all the women who contributed to “Women’s Work” did so for enjoyment. Career artists and novices alike created pieces for the exhibit, which is defined in part by a desire to stay connected to the past.
