Book Launch - 'Cracks in the Path' by Brenda Goggs
Brenda Goggs stands with a foot in two worlds as a practising Visual Artist and a former teacher of English, Visual Art, History and Ideas. After beginning her university studies in Japanese, to which she attributes a sensitivity to aesthetics of nuance, it was as a Visual Artist that she was challenged to focus on what was ‘in front of her eyes’.
Exhibiting woven tapestry over the past 25 years, she has focused on Australian identity and the landscape as an ‘object’ in an imperial cabinet of curiosities and during this time has witnessed a national shift towards a search for understanding of our colonial past and our culpability in a quest for ownership. Brenda has also interrogated literature and has interpreted work by Gerald Murnane, Patrick White and David Malouf, as well as collaborated with Geoff Page and Alan Gould. She enjoys a skirmish with ekphrastic poetry and has attempted to sublimate her garden rage in a series focused on possums. Splashing about at the ‘limit of map
