Joan Kerr was a great suporter of The Register in its formative years. 

This forthcoming publication charts the life and work of a remarkable member of the Womens' Art Register and one of Australia's foremost art historians. Joan Kerr made a substantial contribution to writing the history of many fields hardly touched on by academics, curators and art critics until the 1970s and 1980s: Colonial Architecture, Colonial Art, Women's Art, Indigenous Art, Popular Culture. She worked tirelessly to change the face of art history and expand the range of artists and artforms considered to shape the history of and heritage of all
Australians and championed the cause of overlooked Australian artists, from artists working a century ago to teenage producers of `Zines. it was no surprise that Joan Kerr considered the Women's Art Register to be an important cultural treasure of Australia. She was a great suporter of The Register for over twenty years.

The biography of Joan Kerr is not available commercially only through
private subsrcitpion. You can take out a private subsciption  for this
book  by James Sempler Kerr -  email fclune @ fclune. com. au and ask
for the glossy brochure with details

Greenhouse - Janet Laurence
22 Sep-15 Oct 2005

Janet Laurence's work resonates with the discipline of architecture and architectural form while retaining organic qualities and a sense of instability and transience. Often produced in response to specific sites or environments, it incorporates a diverse range of materials, including museum specimens, glass, lead, ash, minerals, oxides, wax, fur and text. Alchemical transformation, memory, history and perception are underlying themes.
