THE BLUE PLATEAU
My friend Mark Tredinnick's new book is out  in June '09 with UQP.
Look out for him at the Sydney Writers Festival.
Visitors to my show in Blackheath will recall Mark's opening address and his words from The Blue Plateau which accompanied my paintings.

I've had the honour of reading several early drafts of this book : you're in for a very special journey!
