Her work moved through fashion, interiors, architecture and public commissions, helping establish textile design as something more ambitious than decorative accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer fabrics sat inside houses, shops, wardrobes and civic interiors: modernism made domestic, tactile and repeatable. The book combines biography, archival material, photographs, drawings and generous reproductions of her textile designs, including patterns based on birds, plants, fish and more abstract forms. It is both a design history and a very handsome object in its own right, with enough visual material to function almost as a pattern archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Miegunyah Press \/ Melbourne University Publishing, Carlton, Victoria, 2021.
