- This multi-layered book rewrites the vast history of 19th Century Aboriginal-Australian art and demonstrates the significance of practices embedded within them and modern-day artefacts they spawn. The book's ‘anachronic method’ creates a scholarly world in which temporal distances and differences collaborate in the making of new art, enabling original artworks to gain an afterlife or survivance. The significance for the field is that by reclaiming Aboriginal practices from anthropology, it challenges outmoded notions of colonialism and dissolves boundaries with art and art history.
