Double Act with Sylvia Martin

The book Double Act explores Eirene Mort and Nora Kate Weston long partnership in life and work, and their place in Australia’s arts and crafts movement. Both women built creative careers at a time when this was uncommon, while quietly challenging ideas about gender and relationships.

Drawing on letters and archival research, Martin shows how collaboration, friendship, and love shaped their work over more than sixty years.
