The first comprehensive book to cover the prolific art career of Olga Cironis traces the pathways and inspirations that have led to her profile as one of Western Australia’s most collectable and lauded contemporary artists.
The 184-page publication, the fourth in the Art Collective WA artist monograph series, features over 160 colour plates, with essays by:
• Lisa Slade, Artistic Director, Public Programs, Art Gallery of South Australia;
• Jacqueline Millner, Associate Professor of Visual Arts, La Trobe University;
• Paola Anselmi, Perth-based independent curator and arts writer.
'Art is what I do to communicate and create dialogue, to make sense of this world, even rage against it…Life is too short to be passive in the face of adversity.'
OLGA CIRONIS.
'Using thread, feathers, cloth, gold, hair, bone and blanket, and sometimes simply the gentle yet subversive act of displacement, Cironis transforms the everyday into the amuletic.'
LISA SLADE, Assistant Director Artistic Programs, Art Gallery of South Australia.
