In so doing, the book presents a series of neither caricatures nor stereotypes but of individuals--active agents in the universal quest for happiness, intimacy, fulfillment, respect, and a sense of belonging. This is the human face of the queer community in Australia, and these beautifully crafted and life-affirming photographs, in black-and-white and in color, show us the personal and psychological landscape of what it means to be part of a community that is as vibrant as it is diverse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFive Bells\u003c\/i\u003e was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenny Papalexandris\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning visual artist currently based in Australia.
