Tasmanian Living Writer’s Week 2006 included the launch of a magnificent book celebrating the work of internationally renowned Tasmanian photomedia artist, Pat Brassington.

Tourism, Arts and the Environment Minister, Paula Wriedt launched the book at Criterion coinciding with Brassington’s newest body of work, Sweet Hereafter.
The monograph, written by Anne Marsh, is the latest publication by Quintus Publishing and is available for AU$39.95.

Review praise for Pat Brassington: This Is Not a Photograph:

“With its abundance of high-quality colour plates and its clear, elegant design, this is … a valuable addition to the Tasmanian Artists’ Monograph series, and I can think of few artists more deserving of the honour.”

Peter Timms, The Australian, 15 August 2006

“The decadent and sophisticated atmosphere of the images is echoed in the publication itself, which is something of a bijou presentation, petite and beautifully designed … elegant erotica with a surreal twist.”

Michael Desmond, Financial Review, 10 November 2006

“… it unequivocally positions Pat Brassington as one of the most
significant photographic practitioners currently working in Australia.”
