Tracing the phases and themes that have defined the artist's creative trajectory Lesley Dumbrell (b. 1941) is one of Australia’s most remarkable abstract artists. A stalwart of the women's art movement in the 1970s, Dumbrell is known for her sophisticated and lyrical abstract paintings and works on paper. Highly ordered and exactly rendered, her immersive and compelling work transports the viewer into worlds of vibrant rhythm, color, and sensation. As a young woman, Dumbrell was inspired by the writings of Wassily Kandinsky and the work of Bridget Riley, whose paintings conveyed the power of abstract art to express memory and emotion, natural phenomena, and the human experience. Dumbrell's remarkable facility with color and grasp of the organizing power of the grid remain at the heart of her distinctive and exploratory abstraction, sustained over five decades of practice in Melbourne, the Strathbogie Ranges of northern Victoria, and Bangkok, Thailand. Published on the occasion of a major retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, this richly illustrated book showcases the evolution of Dumbrell's artistic language. It includes insightful essays by exhibition curator Anne Ryan, art historians Terence Maloon and Juliette Peers, and artist Consuelo Cavaniglia, plus an interview with the artist herself.

What would it be like if we put human and planetary well being at the center of our entire decision making? Enough - it really is as good as a feast - is the basis of a rewarding contemporary answer to that question. The book explores: enough as an intrinsically moral and ecological philosophy, which can help provide a vision for positive futures; practical public policies of enough (carbon quotas, citizens' income and intelligent agriculture), which could improve quality of life for all people on earth, and save the planet; and, how each reader can restore and build up personal resources for enough that already exist within all of us. Enough is an ancient 'master concept', which today finds renewed and updated expression in a variety of proposals for a transition to a better world. Each one of us has an innate sense of enough; everybody can play a part in the movement of enough and at the same time improve daily well being. The book is a unique blend of ideas, practice and resources, integrating philosophy, morality, ecology, spirituality, self-help, citizenship, leadership, economics and politics.
