A washing line to symbolise woman's domestic entrapment is hung with beautifully crafted miniature clothing. A tiny banner with Shirley Conran's immortal words "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom" blows above a group of women from Irish immigrant to modern day mother and child (wearing a Thomas the Tank Engine tee shirt).
