This book is a retrospective collection of the work of the artist, Alan Pomeroy. 
The book is divided into chapters which curate and document his work over the time period from the 1950s to the 2020s.
Over 600 high quality images printed on 170 gsm Sovereign Silk paper in the book of 230 pages, show the diverse range of art created by Alan Pomeroy. Each image is captioned with reference information.
Alan was largely self taught. He completed a graduate diploma in visual arts in 1981 from the Australian National University. His art work includes ceramics, sculpture, painting, digital art and photography.
The ceramics included in the book show some examples of his production pottery of domestic ware and sculptural pieces. 
Alan's two dimensional painting output is divided into several sections. Two chapters are devoted to documenting his early artwork from 1957-1964 and his personal development from 1965 to 1989.
Other chapters explore Alan’s approach to the genres of landscape, seascape, streetscape, figurative and illustrative, abstract, and still life. The media used include graphite, oils, water-based, and mixed media.
Images based on strong narratives of personal and societal experience include the Public Service Series, and Suburban Dreaming Series both of which reflect on the life and times of the 1980s.
His exploration of themes includes an interpretation of several different cultures and a personal examination of the domestic environment where ordinary things are reinterpreted. 
A chapter on Iconography and Spirituality, considers Christian, Buddhist and Hindu themes. This work was completed as appropriate, using Byzantine style painting with egg tempera and gold leaf media.
Alan’s work with Digital Composites utilised his photographic images of the natural world combined with his artwork using digital manipulation, to create several series of composite images. These include the ‘rock art series’ where art work is integrated with natural sculptural rock landscape and the ‘skyscape series’ where images are integrated with cloud formations.  Other composites include seascapes.
A final chapter, considers the Buddhist tsa tsa (cf. stupas) as a means of connecting with the natural environment, the built environment  and the philosophical afterlife, using photographic digital manipulation to create composite images.
The book also provides some associated written documentation to support the two dimensional work. This may take the form of providing the context for the artwork that was created at the time; an interpretation of the imagery, and poetry to support the emotional inspiration for the imagery.
The book has a comprehensive table of contents and an index. 
There are two CV appendices. One relates to Alan Pomeroy as a scientist, the other as an artist.

My Artist's Statement:
"This series of paintings, 'Suburban Dreaming', explores the relationship between people (or metaphors for people) and their suburban environment. 
The images reflect the juxtaposition of human aspirations, goals or ambitions (which may be represented by dreams or fantasies) and the reality of the everyday life experiences of people living in their environment. The consequent surreal quality in these images reflects this relationship.
Whether dreaming occurs in the bath, behind the locked bathroom door, the kitchen or outside in the garden, the dreaming may take different forms but the fantasy continues".
