Description
The Story So Far is the first comprehensive overview of Helen Britton's work, published to celebrate the Australian Design Centre's Living Treasure: Masters of Australian Craft award.
The book covers over 40 years of Britton's multidisciplinary practice and presents her extraordinary, often colourful and playful works. They evoke childhood memories while also addressing darker aspects of life, leaving the viewer to ultimately find their own meaning within them.
Alongside large-format images of her works and the photographic essay 'My Godmother's House' are contributions by Lisa Cahill, Julie Ewington, Barbara Paris Gifford, Katie Scott, and Toni Greenbaum. The book also includes the artist's own texts, as well as excerpts from the collected writings of Ted Snell and Robert Cook.
