Vol 22 no 2, 2002


Guest editor Stephanie Radok. In the age of the internet where you live may not be where your community is, but most people still draw their spiritual sustenance from the place they call home. Becoming conscious of this and working with it is a preoccupation of many creators whether they live in cities, remote towns, or in the country. A rich vein of work is explored, in rural Victoria, the Noosa River in Queensland, remote Kellerberin in WA, Adelaide, Bundanon, Canberra, rural and remote South Australia, or Darwin.
