Fiona Hall is a leading contemporary artist with a formidable career spanning three decades. This stunning book shows how she transforms ordinary things into extraordinary objects, fashioning new worlds from today's leftovers and excesses - sardine tins magically become sculptures conjuring up the garden of paradise, and banknotes adorned with botanical illustrations recuperate the sad and complex histories of colonial and postcolonial trade. Julie Ewington's five illustrated essays explore the artist's key works and the ideas that brought them into being. Fiona Hall continues to surprise and delight her audiences. She has two aims which are inextricably interlinked: to make real her imaginings and to discover people who can recognise them. This book intends to find these people.
