As a student Margaret Dodd exhibited in the first Funk Ceramic exhibition in San Francisco in 1968. After returning to Australia she became a major figure in the development of experimental feminist art in Adelaide. Her art shows an awareness of the place of the car as a symbol for both liberation and oppression.
