 This artist book recounts the words, images and actions of Ned Kelly, a notorious Australian outlaw. It is view in some sections of the community that Ned is a hero rather than a villain, there is no doubt that he was indeed a rebel but the behavior and actions of the then authorities did not help the situation. This book makes no judgment but presents some of the facts. Housed within the book are three versions of the helmet that Ned wore during his battle with the authorities this may well represent the many different viewpoints on the Matter of Ned Kelly. The use of letter, text and imagery makes this a wonderful artist book.

 Nine months, have passed since my darling husband had a stroke, I thought my world and his would dissolve into endless hours at the hospital, dreading each passing day not knowing if he would survive, walk, or  talk again. We have returned to a life, different, difficult and at times heartbreaking, each day presents a new problem, sometimes I win sometimes I lose. The progress is slow, walking is tiring for him, talking is mumbled words, frustration on his part, he knows what he wants to say but can’t.  As time passes we will make the best of each day, good or bad, the absence of friends is noted, only a few stay in touch now? It’s uneasy for others to understand that he is still the same man....needs friends..... Big Kate..my Albion printing press has gone, no doubt the first of many things to leave us, sad but necessary.

A boat trip will introduce the cultural and historical aspects of Paris and give me a chance to get over the long flight. Above all, it is the art and culture that has my attention, this viewpoint may differ with time spent in Paris.
