“In Sue Hubbard’s atmospheric poems there are many themes to be inspired by, amongst them, women helping women, which resonates with the aims of Murray Edwards College. The ladder is a leitmotif of the exhibition, and sisterhood, in its widest possible sense, has had a profound connection to the support systems I’ve experienced, and continues to inspire me.”
