The Image of Spinning Female Worker by Karen Pow | Street Art NSW

Historical photos from the former Nan Fung Cotton Mills showed that its factory workers were predominantly female. They were highly skilled in the complex procedure of producing cotton yarn. The collective memory of these “factory girls” are celebrated in this artwork, delicately reimagined to echo the fine yarn that they had produced.
