...some Hemingway in fourth grade, but I chose not to. But nor did I incline toward the trashy Goosebumps or Mystic Mountain High (that’s made up, but you know the type) families. So for a while, I tracked the adventures of Encyclopedia Brown, the finest sleuth this side of the Atlantic. A stretch with that endless series about the Boxcar Children. Then I turned my attention to the Redwall saga, those enchanting tales of mice slaying snakes and badgers wielding clubs and the entire abbey feasting on pot pies and drinking cordials far into the night...

Or is it justice? The morals of this provocative show are as intriguing as its cases...
Befriended by Morley and entrusted with his home archive, Annear began searching for a connecting thread. Having turned 20th century photography upside down in her 2000 show "World Without End," this assiduous sleuth found her subject. Whether photographing the then-unknown Twiggy on a London street, or a ghostly skeleton in a Tasmanian museum 30 years later, Morley's instinct has been the same. Now in its final weeks at the AGNSW, Annear's survey show turns a celebrity shooter into a more curious gatherer of found objects...
