Girly in Manly

Maddison Gibbs has made a fishing net, and you'll recognise what it's made of: the little plastic fish of soy sauce that come with takeaway sushi. She wears it as a cloak in a new self-portrait, holding her baby, and the cloak hangs beside the prints. Her statement ends by asking whether Manly should be renamed "Matriarchy".

That's the show's starting point. In 1788 Governor Arthur Phillip named the cove after the "manly behaviour" of the Aboriginal men he saw there, and wrote little about the women fishing the harbour. Four artists answer him. Kate Bohunnis hangs puffed plastic forms from steel chain. Anne Ferran shows three canvases, each 2.5 metres tall, of a Finnish dancer in her sixties draped in felt. Ebony Russell pipes porcelain, layer by layer like icing, into crowns, grottos and castles.

Entry is free, Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm, four minutes' walk from Manly Wharf. Russell teaches ornamental clay workshops on Fridays in November; RSVP through the gallery.
