"‘This book tells the story of the Ernabella Arts Ceramics Studio. We are very happy to work together with the JamFactory to make this book and also for the 20th anniversary exhibition. We have a long history and partnership with the JamFactory. They helped us to make the first ceramics more than 20 years ago.’ – Anne Nginyangka Thompson, Chair Ernabella Arts Therapy to treat their distress became a deeper inquiry. As Roz began to investigate and unfurl the various strands of their identity, and how they intersect to make them who they are, they were handed more pieces of the puzzle. Mood is a story about love, family and self-fulfilment, while living with mental illness. It’s also a candid, absorbing inquiry into the self, and the rewards of embracing who you are, in all its complexity and contradictions. Even – especially – when it’s hard. Blending storytelling and reflection, this incisive, thoughtful memoir will appeal to fans of Kate Richards, Maria Tumarkin, Leslie Jamison and Kylie Maslen."
