‘Sea of Bonnets’ exhibition November 2011.

Photographs by Robert Boldkald

Artist Christina Henri

 Christina uses boats as metaphors for the expansion of colonialisation and bonnets to represent the convict women. Thousands of bonnets were involved in this installation. Bonnets were made by participants world wide who are part of Roses from the Heart(R) Christina Henri’s Memorial to all 25,566 convict women transported to Australia.
