This book is a survey of the twenty-five-year career of Canadian artist Judy Garfin. It is an in-depth look at Garfin's fictional and self-construed universe. Her work is included in numerous public and private collections including the Canada Council Art Bank, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, and the Bronfman, Steinberg, Alcan and Bell Canada Collections. She has exhibited throughout Canada and the United States and is presently on sabbatical from Concordia University where she is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts. The eighty colour reproductions are accompanied by critical essays by George Bogardi, Michael Mackenzie, Virginia Nixon, and Ira Robinson, and includes an interview with the artist by Cheryl Dudek. The introduction is by John K. Grande, author of Balance: Art and Nature. All texts are in English and French. Ciaran Murry, acting curator of the Kitchener-Waterloo Gallery writes of Garfin's book: "Her paintings are very compelling, complex and imaginative studies of nature and life...images that are layered with narratives of her experience and stories of her family in an evolving dialogue around questions of feminine identity." Critic Virginia Nixon writes: "Garfin's work depicts the breaking point between spirit and matter-the doorway where the everyday opens onto the transcendental."
