Becoming a Bird

Writer and artist Stephanie Radok reflects on art and its purposes. "Becoming a Bird: Untold stories about art" includes her travels to multiple museums in the northern hemisphere, wandering and wondering. She takes the reader from Venice to her terrazzo bathroom, finds her Adelaide garden underground in Rome, remembers how to wiggle her ears in Berlin, and sees St Francis in New York. In twelve meditative stories which reflect on memory, childhood, weeds, death, freedom and the soft fur of a dog, Stephanie Radok discovers that, mostly, we are all at home everywhere in this world.
