Stories examines the work of eleven Aboriginal artists, all initiated, ritually senior members of their societies, who have been involved in the making of art over the last decade. While the biographies of these artists reflect a common ground, their personal histories and experiences are widely divergent.
In general, the works illustrated in this publication were produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s and are intended to focus at close range on a select group of artists, rather than presumed high points in their careers.
'Stories' originally toured as an exhibition for a German audience in 1995 and the catalogue documentation was limited to the German language. This English edition, complete with a new introduction, provides a current review of the artists' stories and circumstances by the original writers and biographers.
