22.01.2022 Biblio Art Prize entry for another of our members. Beautiful work Carole. Posted @withregram @carole_makes_stuff Detail from my submission to @blarneybooksandart for Biblio Art prize 2020 Wearing Paper Dresses by Anne Brinsden This novel is very dark and troubling in places set in the Mallee, a hot and dusty lanscape where nothing the mother plants will grow. Yet there is love and hope in the form of her young daughters. I loved this book and wanted to express the turmoil and passion together with the power of the human spirit to survive. @annebrinsdenauthor @blarneybooksandart @iapma Carole Hampshire Artist
