Bronwyn Oliver: Strange Things
Hannah Fink
Piper Press
This long awaited and thoughtful monograph is supported by dedicated research to provide both an art historical and personal window into the life and work of Bronwyn Oliver (1959-2006). Full-page reproductions and images of lesser-known works sit between the leaves of chronological but thematic chapters about the genesis and gestation of a style that paired material and conceptual opportunities with such poetry. Journal extracts are knitted into the artist’s biography, which offers the unique opportunity to commune with Oliver’s inner voice, as she contemplates her loves, family and displays a formidable and passionate approach to artistic practice.
