After the Kings Lynn exhibition,These exhibits were included in the V&A Textiles collection.

I can't recall how we met, I may have been recommended by AlexMacIntyre, but I remember visiting Shirley Craven at home on the otherside of London (we were living in NW2) and showing her my folio of'Op Art' Textile designs. There was a large table in the middle of herroom for spreading out the work - I'm sure I can remember she had twochildren running around the place which was kinda comforting. Sheselected the concentric spirals design I called "Centrum" - I hadalready made the film positives and had printed a few meters inManchester. Hull Traders used the original positives to generate a newset for their system. The colour-ways were extended to four, I think.It was my very first commercial piece and apparently sold well across theUK. Hull Traders showed 'Centrum' with it's new range of fabrics at anexhibition in Dering Street W.1. You'll probably have a better copy,but have a look at the scan I made of the brochure.

My husband John was a Sculptor at the time, we were more interested inPop Art but I also loved the work of Victor Vasareley. His Op-Artimages had more organic form than the 60's geometric style of Op-Art.

The deal with Hull Traders was an interesting introduction to thebusiness of design in the real world it was but very low on returns -just a straight fee without royalties. John and I decided to go intobusiness on our own and built a print table which took up much of theflat - we mixed our dyes in the kitchen and made our own screens.John's brother, Frank made a developing unit hung over the diningtable and we washed the screens out in the bath.
