Murray writes: "Australia has a unique textile art. It results from a variety of influences, including the Indigenous use of plants for weaving and dyeing, the settler wool industry, the rich migrant influences and the studio craft movement. Today, Australian textile art has a particularly important story to tell about how such a diverse continent might come together".
