Flies, Actually

 

A Treatise on saving our insects and a Flyaspora of Celebrity Art Blowflies

Over 40% of our insect species are threatened – but what if we saw them differently?

In this witty and thought-provoking book, research scientist and artist Dr Sally Berridge transforms the humble blowfly and other overlooked insects into high-value art, challenging our perceptions with humour and creativity. Blending a short history of the use of insecticides and practical ideas for conservation, this book is both and artistic celebration and a call to action. Our future as humans depends on these tiny creatures – it’s time we started valuing them.

About the Author

 

Dr Sally Berridge had a Kipling-esque beginning. Born in the foothills of the Hindu Kush (then India, now Pakistan), she is a daughter of the Raj. During the war, her mother died in Calcutta from typhoid, so she was sent ‘home’ to boarding school in England to be adrift in a strange land.

Then after some years, with her father, an inarticulate (though verbose) ex-Indian Army colonel, and a duty-bound step-mother, she went to live on a farm in colonial Kenya.

She returned to England for university studies and migrated to Australia in 1966. Since then, she has been a research scientist, an artist and a science communicator. She gained her PhD in creative communication at the University of Canberra in 2006.

Silent Sentinel

 

The Story of a Redgum

A gnarled old redgum stands by the creek. It has witnessed many changes since it first sprouted among the ancient basalt stones more than three centuries ago.

This book is an artist’s impression of the stories it could tell; of the Wurundjeri people who followed the rhythm of the seasons to the arrivel of strangers who settled and made their new home among the gumtrees.

It tell of change that came as both the tree and the city continued to grow, and the grasslands disappeared. It is a story of human impact on the land, but ends on anote of hope for the future as people become aware of the tree, standing as a silent sentinel on the land which is our legacy.

About the Author

 

Amaria was born in country Victoria, spent her early years in remote Arnhem Land, and now lives in Melbourne. Her parents migrated to Australia from the Netherlands, and she was the first of nine children. They grew up speaking two languages, without a TV, but surrounded by books and opportunities to use their imagination. Amaria’s childhood ambition was to become an artist or an author… instead she became a primary school teacher and has especially enjoyed teaching Visual Art. She never stopped drawing or writing, however, and as her teaching years drew to a close, her first book, Silent Sentinel was finally published.
