About the author

Jane Giblin has been an exhibiting Tasmanian artist and state school educator for nearly forty years. Her artwork possesses a continual concern with land and place in the geohistorical context of Tasmania. Working across the decades in ink and pigment drawings, in printmaking and analogue photography, she explores the conditions of her friends, and family and self and most commonly on paper support. This is because it is the soakage and the scratch of the environment that she responds to, as she pushes her materials around, and listens to the attack, and sits in the environment itself to work. In Jane’s first book, I Shed My Skin, A Furneaux Islands Story, there emerged a new combination resulting from her literary and art making research project into her father’s Flinders Island family.
