Senior Momentum members have entered work in this exhibition both singly and as a group every year since its inception
Before Senior Momentum had even thought of a name for itself, the textile created for their pilot project won the Premier’s Prize of $1000 at the the inaugural Women Tasmania International Women’s Day Art Competition at the Moonah Art Centre in 2002. This prizemoney provided seed funding for subsequent Senior Momentum projects.

Lifting the Blanket on Domestic Violence
winner of the Premier's Prize at the 2002 Material Girl exhibition at the Moonah Arts Centre.
The Rest of Us
 Material Girl entry 2003
There is the male half of humanity
AND then
there are the women
the leaders, rulers and deciders of fashion, policy, action;
those who adventure and discover;
there are stars and professionals;
there are winners famous and infamous;
there are women with Voices that are heard and heeded;
and there are those upon whom they all depend, every sort of grouping with every sort of member.
Barely Female
winner of the Comalco Prize for Sculpture at the 2004 Material Girl exhibition at the Moonah Arts Centre.
The theme for this exhibition was "more than the sum of her parts".
These bare goddesses, headless and armless, proclaim an identity which is more than the sum of their parts.
Tattoooing and scarring were the origins of embroidery, done directly on the skin. These embroidered bodies - Neolithic Roumainian, ancient Pict, modern North African and Fijiian- celebrate the Eternal Feminine.
The Final Shore

(Great Petrel and Royal Penguin Quills, Macquarie Island, Tasmania)
A textile based on photography of Macquarie Island by renowned Tasmanian photographer, the late Peter Dombrovskis.
In his sea-shore photograph Peter Dombrovskis has captured the essence of an island - time-worn ancient rock, stranded kelp, lost feathers of petrel and penguin beaded with rain-drops.
For early arrivals to Australia it was to reach a ‘fatal shore’, for migratory birds it is a familiar recurring shore. For non im-migratory women, Tasmania has become home, their ‘final shore’.
For this collective work each has chosen a fragment of the scene and, as in her life, interpreted it in her own way.
We Three Meet Again
Senior Momentum's Material Girl entry 2008
These three individual images represent the issues of an ageing Tasmanian population, a significant statistic from a female perspective. The new aged, living longer, living stronger, kept alive.
Using the tradition of make and mend, old fencing wire tackles new issues. The invisible women made visible.
Created by Senior Momentum members Jill Cartwright, Els Clarke and Jennifer Line; combined ages 233 not out.
