Cover Text

A biography of Fiona Foley - an artist who has changed the algorithm of history. Bronwyn Bancroft This is a beautifully composed, intimate first-person account of the artistic practice of Badtjala artist, Fiona Foley. Each chapter meanders and unfolds taking us on a vivid journey to place - K'gari - combined with encounters and conversations with the artist, her family and affiliates. Carefully configured and tenderly composed, each chapter has its own rhythm and title extrapolating on how "art" and "life" intersect. Natalie King
