Skin Painting | | | WINNER OF THE 2007 DAVID UNAIPON AWARD
My story cannot be painted onto a canvas - it is a skin painting.
Brave, haunting and evocative, this powerful volume is poetry as memoir. From her early experiences in an institution and the effect of this on her family to the illustration of her strength and independence as an adult, Elizabeth Hodgson helps make a slice of Aboriginal experience accessible and resonant.
Skin Painting explores themes of art, identity, sexuality and loneliness. It is both universal and intimate, honest and important. |

I thank Madonna Duffy, Rob Cullinan, Taressa Brennan and Belinda Jennings at University of Queensland Press. I am delighted they pursued me after my return from Boston assuring me that the revamped UQP was still interested in my public musings.
Frank Brennan, author of Tampering with Asylum and Acting on Conscience
