Book Review: Dorothy Erickson, ‘Inspired by Light’

Published as the first of two hardcover volumes (the second will cover the period from 1950 to now), this is Dr Dorothy Erickson’s most ambitious publishing venture. Exploring the work of designers and makers in Western Australia since the founding of the Swan River Colony in 1829 until 1969, it is her most significant contribution to the history of decorative arts and design in Australia.
