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've discovered the 'new-look' UQP team to be dedicated, passionate and supportive in a way I have rarely experienced in my roughly fifteen years as a published writer. What has impressed me very much is that, lacking the obvious funds of large publishing houses, UQP uses lateral thinking and carefully chosen strategic actions to place its books and authors in the best possible position for success.
Venero Armanno, author of The Dirty Beat
