In 2021, ‘The Poor Sisters’ formed a collective of Hamilton and region women sculptors; Nikola Wojewoda, Kara Bunn, Tamara Kwapich, Dawn Hackett-Burns, Kristine Germann, Julie Donec, Wendy Wilson, Heather Kuzyk, Michelle Lynn and Laura Wells. Finding themselves distressed by the dark shifts in society they gathered to explore and confront what is monstrous in our world. Their first exhibition,‘The Monster Project’, was held at Auchmar Mansion, Hamilton, November 2024. They continue to work on collaborative projects.
