This beautifully presented book showcases the work of Marguerite Derricourt, highlighting how her art captures a powerful balance between movement and rest, turbulence and peace. Focusing primarily on subject matter drawn from the natural world, she has worked in a broad variety of media, from cast bronze to melted wax and hessian, from welded aluminium to neon and fibre glass, from moulded paper to chicken wire. The breadth of styles and media in her work attests to a career of inspiration and craftsmanship which sees her continue to experiment and innovate. This book presents a range of her work in sculpture and selected paintings and drawings, together with a biography, and an introductory essay by Elizabeth Fortescue, art writer for the Australian Financial Review, The Australian and The Art Newspaper.
