Fiona MacDonald, Heritage No. 2, 2004, woven photographs, 60 x 40cm. © the artist and the Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art at the University of Western Australia. Photograph by Jenni Carter. Heritage No. 2 is woven from a press portrait of Joan by Sandy Edwards and a self-portrait by Mary Edwards (1897-1988), a mid-century Australian painter for whom Joan held a ‘curious fascination’ (MacDonald’s words). Mary Edwards was a key complainant in the famous trial against William Dobell’s 1943 Archibald Prize-winning portrait of Joshua Smith. This work appears on the cover of the forthcoming publication Joan Kerr: A Singular Voice, Essays on Art and Architecture, edited by Candice Bruce, Jo Holder and Dinah Dysart, Power Publications, The University of Sydney, October 2009.
