Step into a world of grandeur and spiritual significance which will undoubtably resonate with all who hold the traditional and modern subject of femininity and guardianship close to their heart. She Carries all showcases a body of work exploring celestial and divine beings, the softness and strength of woman hood and ancient narratives reimagined into a contemporary visual language. Panchali Sheth responds to narratives and stories from Indian Miniature’s which speak to her, and through an intuitive and layered process, she creates ineffable worlds within the confines of paint and canvas. Life for Sheth is very much about duality; the material and spiritual nature of our world, the experience of women as vessels carrying both burdens and miracles of life and the narrative capacity of abstract and representational painting. Sheth starts with a story or image and ends with hybrid characters exploring a contemporary point of view. This translates into worlds of colour with forms appearing and transforming before your eyes. Information Source: Ditty Wheels | eventbrite

Join us for an evening of conversation between Jane Caro and Joan Sauers to celebrate the publication of Jane's lastest book,Lyrebird. A sound froze her blood. A woman. A woman screaming in pure terror. Screaming and sobbing-begging-out here, in this desolate place. Twenty years ago, ornithology student Jessica Weston panicked when she heard a woman screaming for her life in the remote Barrington Tops. Her relief, when she discovers that it is a lyrebird making the sounds, is profound. She is thrilled to have caught his display on video. Then she remembers-lyrebirds are mimics. Whatever the wild creature has heard must have really happened, and happened nearby. Jessica takes her video to the police. Despite support from newly minted detective, Megan Blaxland, with no missing person reported and no body, her evidence is ridiculed and dismissed. Twenty years later, a body is unearthed, just where Jessica said it would be. Horrified they let the case go cold, Jessica, now an associate professor, and Megan, recently retired but brought back to head up the investigation, reunite and join forces. They are determined to find the killer, whatever it takes. What they don't realise is that they are not just putting their lives in danger, but also the lives of those close to them...

Margot can't help but compare the dreams and aspirations of the girl who partied with Tess to the bored, exhausted woman she has become. How could Tess have predicted that Margot would need a second chance to get on that plane? 'This is Dettmann's breakout book. No question.Your Friend and Mineis witty, insightful, and full of heart-a layered exploration of love, friendship, grief, and second chances. With her keen, often obscure and downright perfect observations on life, Dettmann delivers a novel that is as thought-provoking as it is joyous.' Sally Hepworth, author ofDarling Girls 'Thoughtful, funny, touching, smart.Your Friend And Minesparkles with Jess Dettmann's trademark wit, and charms with its sharp insights into friendship, long-term love and detoured dreams. An absolute pleasure.' -Holly Wainwright, author ofHe Would Never 'A witty, relatable and huge-hearted novel about friendship, long-term love and the surprisingly difficult mid-life challenge of seeing your own life clearly. I absolutely loved it.'Emily Maguire, author ofRapture About the AuthorJessica Dettmann is the author of four novels and one book for children. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her family and her two cats. Before becoming a writer, she was a book editor. Even before that she once worked as the City of Sydney Christmas Angel, sitting on top of the Town Hall in a gown that reached the street, almost exclusively so she would have an interesting job to mention if she ever had the opportunity to write an author bio.
