An Unreliable Guidebook to Jewellery by Lisa Walker
An unreliable guidebook to jewellery accompanied the retrospective exhibition Lisa Walker: She wants to go to her bedroom but she can't be bothered at RMIT Design Hub Gallery, 29 January - 4 May 2019. This volume considers how the work of New Zealand jeweller Lisa Walker can be thought of as a career-length conversation with the question 'What is jewellery?' In doing so it foregrounds the act of asking questions and the pleasure and importance of the 'as yet understood'. The narratives that emerge within this book offer an open ended reflection on Lisa's work, moving across different time periods, going off on tangents but returning to the many concerns of the field in which Lisa has so firmly embedded herself.

For My Sisters....
For My Sisters is a collection of poems that gets to the heart of the matter as they lend credence to the various moods and attitudes we often find ourselves in. Through the pages of this book you'll find a poem entitled, "Dishonored Sister" it turns the mirror on our sisters who have agreed to share a married man with his wife. We also have the poem entitled, "The Angry Sister," in this poem we acknowledge that there are angry sisters out there, but we go deeper in that we try to look beyond the anger to see how our sister may have gotten that way. For My Sisters also takes a look at the lives of the Sister Giver, the Church Girl, and Sister Peace to name a few. As always thank you for agreeing to take this journey with me perhaps you'll see yourself or someone you know in the poems in this book, whatever the case I hope you enjoy it as you take some time for you. Blessings in Abundance! www.lisawalkerthomas.com
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Martha Johnson wants a new lease on life, but like so many other sistahs, she does not know how to get it. Born into a family of weak-minded women, she, despite her education and improved social status, cannot seem to break the mold. Like the road-weary Johnson women before her, she is hampered by low self-esteem and afflicted by poor decision-making skills. Sadly, Martha blames her mother for infecting her with the same virus that had, over time, killed the spirits of her foremothers. Even after her mother repents and begins to live like Jesus, Martha cannot bring herself to forgive her-cannot find the strength to break the curse. As a result, her relationship with her own daughter has gradually disintegrated. Will Martha Johnson learn to look deeply into her own mirror? Can she successfully confront the demons that dwell in the caverns of her own mind? Will she ever realize that the disappointment she feels for her mother is only a front for her own feelings of personal failure and that the resentment toward her daughter is merely a masquerade for motherly love turned inside-out? Or will the circle be unbroken?
