Joanna Margaret Paul: Imagined In The Context of a Room

Author(s): Lucy Hammonds

Art

A significant publication that accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of the same name developed by Dunedin Public Art Gallery in partnership with the Sarjeant Art Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui. Joanna Margaret Paul is one of the major figures of our recent art history - an innovative and experimental artist who has found great resonance with a contemporary generation in Aotearoa New Zealand. This exhibition spans the full arc of Joanna's career, celebrates her connection to many places across New Zealand, and the multi-disciplinary nature of her creative vision. This generously illustrated publication features new essays by the exhibition's curators Lauren Gutsell, Lucy Hammonds and Greg Donson, who were joined in this project by writers Pascal Harris, Emma Bugden, Andrea Bell and Joanna Osborne.

 

Joanna Paul was intensely responsive to the world around her, she depicted her surroundings, constantly reworking the conventions of drawing and watercolour painting to capture something of inward experience. Paul also documented her environment in photographs and experimental short films, and published poetry, criticism and non-fiction. Her impulse was towards complexity in honouring the mystery she perceived in her subject, whether it was a domestic still life, the view from her kitchen window, or one of her children. She brought an innovative interdisciplinary approach to her practice, often blurring the boundaries between media. This beautiful book illuminates the whole of Paul's career.
