Abstract

A profile of Australian ceramic artist Pam Sinnott, who creates sculptures inspired by the kitchen and kitchen utensils that become innovative metaphors for women's work. The author discusses a series of recent exhibitions by Sinnott and how she incorporates language in the form of text taken directly from 'Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management', 1861 into her sculptures.
