Ladyfinger

You are warmly invited to celebrate the life and work of Margaret Cameron with the book launch of I Shudder to Think: performance as philosophy, released by Ladyfinger Press.
Ladyfinger Press is pleased to announce the launch of an exquisite new book written by long-term Ladyfinger collaborator Margaret Cameron. I Shudder to Think: performance as philosophy brings together a critical essay on art and autotopography with four of Cameron's major solo performance works, offering insight into the praxis of one of Australia’s most creative and original voices.
“I am in no doubt that it is a significant addition to Australian performance art and thought, and moreover that it constitutes an artwork in itself” Alison Croggon.
 For the past three decades Margaret Cameron has been a multi-award winning artist at the forefront of Australian contemporary theatre and performance. Critics have described her work as ‘elegant’, ‘poetic’, ‘fascinating’, and ‘funny’, and Margaret herself as ‘a national treasure’.
Sadly this important work is being published posthumously as Margaret Cameron passed in late 2014 after completing final edits on the text.
