Linda Jackson carries a deep connection to the environment and cultures of Australia’s tropical zones, the Pacific region and Eastern and Southern Africa, which have been an ongoing inspiration for the design of her fabrics and garments for over four decades. This exhibition brings together Jackson’s pieces in a vibrant burst of colour and layered patterning, spirited by the beauty and abundance of the rainforest and the reef.
