Orison

Dena Ashbolt and Gudrun Ilana Guriel

Lebenslust

fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

One woman's memoir with the intention of not only setting a stage of life in post war Germany, but also of exposing the intergenerational secrets she has recognised in her family. The manuscript has been in development for the past decade, and the working relationship with artist Dena Ashbolt started as a result of their mutual enthusiasm for images of movement.

Sharon Monagle

Of Dingoes and Witch-Hunts

fortyfivedownstairs gallery 45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
