A Picture Book First and Foremost
Set of three hardcover volumes concerning the work of a prominent Australian artist David Bromley, with text by Matthew Sturgis and Ashley Crawford and photography by Earl Carter. Two volumes are housed in a handmade canvas jacket painted by Bromley and the third is in a handmade leather case with a clasp. The set is housed as a whole in a custom-made leather satchel signed by Bromley and includes an original signed child portrait by Bromley. The first two volumes are dedicated to the themes of children and female portraiture, which Bromley has predominantly explored throughout his career. The third volume is dedicated to Bromley’s studios and creative environment.
Religious Imaging in Millennialist America
Ashley Crawford investigates how such figures as Ben Marcus, Matthew Barney, and David Lynch—among other artists, novelists, and film directors—utilize religious themes and images via Christianity, Judaism, and Mormonism to form essentially mutated variations of mainstream belief systems. He seeks to determine what drives contemporary artists to deliver implicitly religious imagery within a ‘secular’ context. Particularly, how religious heritage and language, and the mutations within those, have impacted American culture to partake in an aesthetic of apocalyptism that underwrites it.

Transformations
Transformations: The Art of Sonia Payes traces the development of Payes's career in which, in opposition to the 'hyper-styled, highly colour-saturated' photography of the digital age, she has quietly created a more personalised, monochromatic and moody language. Crawford describes it as 'discourse in chiaroscuro' in which her camera 'somehow capsizes our normal expectations of how the natural world should appear'. Landscape and the body, and the melding of the two, are her subjects - but they are formulated in ways that belie rational explanation. Since her artist-in-residency in China in 2012 where she witnessed natural cornfields quarried for the cement needed for massive urban redevelopment, Payes's preoccupation has been 'regeneration' of the environment for future inhabitants. Hence her computer animation 'Corn and Quarries' with its regenerated fields of all-seeing human faces with their vision focused North, South, East and West, intent on this planet's survival.
