Publisher's Synopsis
One of the greatest Australian artists of the 20th century, Rosalie Gascoigne (1917-1999) spent the first 23 years of her life in New Zealand before moving to Canberra. Living on the outskirts of that city, Gascoigne created art that was a song - or an 'air' inthe Shakespearean sense - in praise of the infinite Australian plains. Gascoigne's artwork - made of road signs, roofing iron and other cast-off materials - is also a hymn to experience and memory.
