Sister of Brett Whiteley, Hopkirk was uniquely placed to bear witness to Brett’s engagement with the spiritual fathoms of artistic life.
Intoxicated with life on the land and immersed in both the majesty of nature and the brutality of the drought, Hopkirk explores its precious mysteries and painful realities.
Her work has a transcendent quality both lyrical and powerful. These poems are never anything but deeply committed to life.
