A collection of 100 sentences, each in individual handwriting, is re-created in white glazed porcelain and presented on three floor-to-ceiling wall boards.
Originally, the brief was to recognise in an imaginary way the contribution of women who had campaigned for equal suffrage, and helped to further democracy. This was broadened to include all women who had made a significant contribution to life, culture or democracy in Scotland. The artist undertook a journey across Scotland to meet 100 women, each woman being asked to refer her to another woman. Each wrote a sentence about a woman she felt had made an important contribution.
Inscriptions : [The whole work could be regarded as an inscription (100 sentences)].
Signatures : None (but the artist wrote one of the sentences).
