Stasko here is concerned to articulate not only her personal response to the paintings but, more ambitiously perhaps, to create a verbal equivalent to them, akin, in some ways, to a translation. While some traditional art critics might well benefit from reading this sequence, ‘Dwelling in the Shape of Things’ is not a piece of art criticism or scholarship. It does show, however, that there is more than one useful and persuasive way of responding verbally to great paintings.\"  — Geoff Page, ABC \u003cem\u003eRadio National\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNicolette Stasko’s work is well known and widely anthologised.
