Dr Millner teaches art history and visual culture at the University of Western Sydney. Her areas of special interest include art and politics, aesthetics, feminist art, artist museum dialogues and street art. This collection of essays spans from the mid 1990s to the present, and discusses a range of themes and the work of diverse Australian artists within the context of the author’s sensibilities and interests.

The result therefore includes lesser- known artists, as well as those more widely written about. This is a welcome change to reading about the same work (no matter how good), over and over again, and is more reflective of the quantity (and quality) of art made across the country.
