Summary

No stone without a name is about the colonial arts of Western Australia: its practitioners, its processes and conventions, and the beauty and brutality of an artistic tradition seeking to apprehend an unfamiliar landscape and people. O'Brien neither innocently celebrates this tradition, nor recommends examples to delete or creators to cancel. She does however show art production as part of colonisation and, arguing that this blinds us to other possibilities and freedoms, patiently deconstructs for our benefit various prized cultural artefacts of Western Australia's colonial history
