Jane Kidd's technically demanding and conceptually rich tapestries provoke questions about handcraft, disciplinary knowledge, and the importance of bringing historical practices into the contemporary art arena for critical discussion and debate. Her series Curiosities and Wonderland feature images of germinating seeds and aerial views of planted crops and draw attention to issues such as genetically modified and engineered organisms and the destruction of the environment. Using various weaving techniques and inspired by Curiosity Cabinets and the Natural History Museum, Kidd's tapestries evoke relationships and contradictions between art and science, imagination and knowledge, and decoration and display. Jane Kidd is an award-winning, internationally recognized artist. Having taught at the Alberta College of Art + Design in Calgary, she currently maintains a studio practice on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.

Over 200,000 people ride a dressage test each year in Britain and whether it is for the Pony Club, a riding club, eventing, or international dressage, there is much to be learnt from understanding the judge's perspective. In recent years dressage has been the fastest expanding equestrian discipline in Britain and many other countries around the world. As a result, a rapidly increasing number of people will need to know how to earn the marks in the arena and more judges will be needed to assess the tests. Judging dressage is a big subject and in The Dressage Judge's Viewpoint, Jane Kidd has covered it in a concise, straightforward and clear way. This book is the ideal introduction to dressage and a valuable reference book not only for riders but also for judges and trainers.
