More DescriptionInspired by TS Eliot's famous poem, THE WASTE LAND, Marilyn Peck has created the 48 paintings in watercolour, most of them miniatures measuring 100 x 100mm and reproduced at the same size. These appear alongside her texts which echo the sentiments expressed by Eliot but are evoked from her own memories and experience of growing up in Australia. The book has a foreword by Gold Coast identity and English scholar, the late John R. Barrie, and an introduction by Queensland art critic Gordon Foulds. The colourful miniatures are rich in archetypal symbolism and, as miniatures, are attractively formatted against a light dusting of gold. This Queensland artist has received numerous awards for her miniatures and, more recently, for her poetry.
