• "Liz Ferrier (2000) Vulnerable Bodies: Creative Disabilities in Contemporary Australian Film. In Ian Craven ed. Australian Cinema in the 1990s. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203045022"
  Reads, in part "The internationally-acclaimed film Shine is one of a number of contemporary Australian movies which portray embattled artists or performers. Reminiscent of earlier works such as Starstruck (1982), Man of Flowers (1983), Malcolm (1986) and Sweetie (1989), and several more recent productions – Proof (1991), Strictly Ballroom (1992), Bad Boy Bubby (1994), The Adventures of Priscilia, Queen of The Desert (1994), Muriel's Wedding (1994), Cosi (1996), Lilian's Story (1996), and Jane Campion's New Zealand/Australian films, An Angel at My Table (1990) and The Piano (1993) – it depicts a disadvantaged individual overcoming setbacks through the passionate and eccentric expression of his creativity. The film and the cycle to which it belongs offers a peculiar vantage point from which to examine the problems and possibilities of Australian cinema in the 1990s."
• "Bree Hadley, Katherine Dionysius, Sarah Boulton (2019) Vis-Ability: Audio descriptions. In Vis-ability: Artworks from the QUT Art Collection. QUT Art Museum, Brisbane, Qld, pp. 45-53."
  "Bringing together a selection of recent acquisitions from the QUT Art Collection ,Vis-ability has been conceived as a project to broaden understanding of the lived experiences of people who are blind and people with low vision. Drawing on research in QUT's Creative Industries Faculty, Vis-ability proposes alternative ways of engaging with the collection, considering how technologies can deepen our understanding of vision and challenging our sight-driven experience of art. In this essay, QUT artist scholar and audio description author Associate Professor Bree Hadley, curator Katherine Dionysius, and blind artist and exhibition guide Sarah Boulton examine the principles, processes, and challenges of producing audio descriptions and associated engagement strategies to enable creative new forms of audio encounter with visual art works."
