"Raffan is no stranger to the scholarly essay ... her writing style, though, is extremely adept at conveying the art's complexities and recent histories with a logic and accessibility ... It's tempting to draw comparisons between Power + Colour and the (largely) Aboriginal art collection-based publications from the late Colin Laverty and his partner Elizabeth. In both cases, the publications tend to outrival anything comparable produced by our public institutions."
