The concept of 'spirituality' conveys more than formal religious faith or belief - it relates to the sacred and transcendental dimensions of human consciousness and touches directly on the fundamental mystery which underlies the process of creation. Artists relate to this mystery in different ways - sometimes within the context of a religious tradition, such as Christianity or Buddhism, but more often in an instinctual, non-doctrinal way. Some artists relate their spirituality to the potentialities of human awareness - a sacred potentiality perhaps only partially glimpsed but innate to all human beings - while others see the spirit as an extension of the conscious mind. Others find the sacred within the earth, within rites of passage and transformation, and within archetypal mythologies from both East and West.
Fire and Shadow is neither a history nor an overview but focuses on a selection of established and mid-career Australian artists - among them painters, sculptors, installation artists and practitioners of mixed media - who are incorporating spiritual elements and themes in their work.

Fire and Shadow: Spirituality in Contemporary Australian Art delves into the profound interplay between spirituality and artistic expression. Rather than a comprehensive history, this book focuses on a curated selection of established and mid-career Australian artists. These creators, spanning various disciplines painting, sculpture, installation art, and mixed media incorporate spiritual elements and themes into their work. The concept of spirituality transcends mere religious dogma; it encompasses the sacred and the transcendental dimensions of human consciousness. Artists engage with this mystery in diverse ways. Some draw from religious traditions like Christianity or Buddhism, while others approach it instinctually, free from rigid doctrines. For some, spirituality resides in the latent potentialities of human awareness an innate sacredness glimpsed only partially. Others perceive the spirit as an extension of conscious thought. And still, some find the sacred within the earth, rites of passage, and archetypal mythologies from both Eastern and Western traditions. Fire and Shadow invites us to explore these artistic expressions, where the mundane and the mystical converge. Through their creations, these Australian artists illuminate the ineffable, inviting us to contemplate the deeper currents that flow through our existence.
