1 'Drawing with Light' : A Compelling Biography of Olive Cotton Alison Stieven-Taylor , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , January / February no. 418 2020; (p. 22-23)
— Review of Olive Cotton : A Life in Photography Helen Ennis , 2019 single work biography 'A lover of photography since childhood, by the time Olive Cotton, who was born in Sydney in 1911, was in her twenties she was already creating the pictures that were to define her as one of Australia’s foremost women photographers, although this would not be acknowledged until the 1980s. Apart from the photographs she made, Cotton left little material trace of a life that spanned nine decades (she died in 2003). This lack of physical evidence presented a challenge for biographer Helen Ennis, a former curator of photography at the National Gallery of Australia and an art historian, who has nonetheless managed to weave a compelling, if at times diaphanous, narrative.' (Introduction)
