Edge participated in 'Jagrati', a 1986 exhibition at Greenwich Citizens Gallery by thirteen Asian women artists.[3] Her mixed media artwork 'Snakes and Ladders' (1988) used batik on paper, ceramic and text.[4] Part of the touring exhibition 'Along the Lines of Resistance', it "brought social politics into craft and images of black women into mainstream art galleries and museums".[5]
