"Kaaron Warrens novel, The Grief Hole, is fast becoming a dark literary classic, and it was enhanced by internal illustrations and cover art/design by Canberra-based artist, Keely Van Order. This art portfolio traces Keelys passage to the final illustrations and designs, including variations on themes, mood sketches, and pieces of art that were worthy of publishing, but just didnt quite make it the limited number required for the final product. Keely provides notes on her journey and includes excerpts from The Grief Hole that enables the viewer insight into the direct sources of inspiration for the art. Keely Van Orders art and design for The Grief Hole, compiled in this beautiful book, is an apt companion volume to the novel, and captures the spirit of Kaaron Warrens masterpiece as a stand alone work."
