In this true story, Krystine Tomaszyk looks back over her life, the earliest memories of which take place as her world, and that of all around her, shatters with the invasion of Poland by the German and then the Soviet army and her deportation to Siberia.
This poignant narrative is, at the same time, a dramatic physical journey, by a very long route to New Zealand, and an exploration of the mind of a child, coping with and making meaning of the events she is caught up in.
Essence is a mosaic of emotional colours, pieced together with honesty and artistry. The author's candour offers an intimate insight into deep-felt and beautifully expressed human emotions.

Essays On Contemporary New Zealand Painting and Photography
This book, which takes its title from a phrase by Roland Barthes, examines in detail the work of seven major twentieth-century New Zealand painters and photographers: Rita Angus, Colin McCahon, Gordon Walters, Milan Mrkusich, Richard Killeen, Les Cleveland and Megan Jenkinson.
While it contains some historical and contextual background, it is not an art history in the traditional sense. Rather, it aims to apply a broad range of critical theories and methodologies to sustained close readings of paintings and photographic images, in an attempt to explore a cluster of related concepts: subjectivity, sociality, self-reflexive representation, feminism, time, the gaze and the frame. It is also a conscious attempt to explore the complex relationship between words and images and therefore to begin to answer the question how we might write about painting and the visual.
