This richly illustrated publication provides sensitive, rare and enticing insights into the lives, works and unique studio environments of 60 significant artists. As artist Sonia Payes's latest publication, it was timed to coincide with the 2007 Venice Biennale and was presented on the deck of the Australian Pavillion, during Susan Norrie's amazing exhibition representing Australia.
Three years in compilation and requiring travel across Australia and overseas with heavy equipment, this 400 page book of photographic essays offers outstanding visual descriptions of how and where individual Australian artists live and what fires their imagination.

60 artists are introduced by 52 arts writers, curators and art critics and introduced by Professor Ted Snell AM CitWA. This publication was envisioned and brought to life through the design and organisation of Sonia Payes with assistance of Simon Strong, Jenny Zimmer and friends.
