Frances Burke: textile designer

Robyn Oswald-Jacobs and Nanette Carter will speak to us about the life and work of Frances Burke (1904-94). Burke was the leading textile designer in Melbourne from the 1940s to the 1960s. Displaying imagery and colours from native flora, marine objects, Indigenous artefacts and designs of pure abstraction, her fabrics were the preferred choice of architects, interior designers, department stores, and homemakers. She was also a resident of East Melbourne. 
Oswald-Jacobs and Carter are co-authors of the recent book, Frances Burke: Designer of modern textiles, which brings back to life the work of this nationally important artist.
