Abstract | The Parliament House Embroidery (PHE) was the result of an eight year collaboration between the South Australian artist Kay Lawrence and each Australian state and territory embroidery guild. Conceived as an artistic commemoration of Australia's Bicentenary and the opening of the new Parliament House in Canberra on 9 May 1988, the PHE is notable as both a key commissioned work and the only gift accepted by the Parliament House Construction Authority's Art Advisory Committee. Drawing from a case study this paper explores issues related to interpretation, leadership, and authorship that arose during this extended collaboration. As the PHE celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2018, this is a timely investigation of the process that led to the creation of this artwork. |
