Dorothy Lipmann: Walkaway
Walkaway is a small town in Western Australia but for artist Dorothy Lipmann the word "Walkaway" refers to an attitude in our society of not acknowledging destitute women.
Lipmann's art is abstract in handling yet realist in subject.
Lipmann's artworks speak to the situations that elderly homeless women lived in before coming to care organisations such as Wintringham. Wintringham delivers a wide range of services to aged people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Dorothy Lipmann's art focuses on elderly women who make up half of Wintringham's clients. Most of these women have been through some kind of trauma in their life. For many their stability is very fragile leading to isolation uncertainty division and stigma. But with support they no longer feel so powerless and refuse to become victims. The artist wants to make poverty visible and for people to consider what it must be like to be an elderly woman and homeless.
