Flora Parrott has recently completed her residency at Megalo.
During her time here she researched the 'mend and make do' campaign on the British and Australian home fronts during World War II.
During the WWII clothes rationing and lack of supply made it very difficult to get hold of silk stockings. Flora made a parachute, inspired by silk stockings, from sections of silk, printed with images, both hand drawn and photographic etching
