Catherine Dormor is a practising artist, Reader in Textile Practices and Head of Research Programmes and at the Royal College of Art, London UK.

In the face of much writing that adopts linear models not because of their usefulness, but for lack of another model, here the academic and creative voice finally hold “theory” and “practice” as one. * Jessica Hemmings, National College of Art & Design, Dublin, Ireland *
