Join Drusilla Modjeska in conversation with Rachel Edwards as they discuss A Woman’s Eye, Her Art.
When a woman makes art, what does she see? When she picks up her brush and looks in the mirror? When she takes off her clothes and paints herself naked?
In A Woman’s Eye, Her Art, writer Drusilla Modjeska looks back at the lives of several extraordinary artist-women from the first half of the twentieth century, who all reframed the narrative through their art and lives. It reveals the spirit they had to step out on their paths and the extraordinary courage they had to stay there.
Drusilla Modjeska is one of Australia’s most acclaimed writers. Her books include the award-winning Poppy and the bestselling The Orchard and Stravinsky’s Lunch, which won the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction. Her novel The Mountain was critically acclaimed and shortlisted for a number of awards; and in 2015 she published her memoir, Second Half First, which was also shortlisted for several prizes. She lives in Sydney.
Rachel Edwards is first and foremost a reader. She is a former editor of Island Magazine, and was a senior producer for ABC local radio. As editor in chief of Transportation Press, she heralded a lot of contemporary Tasmanian writers into the international space, including Robbie Arnott, Susie Greenhill, Erin Hortle and Adam Ouston
