This exhibition of research by Annette Warner, School of Ecosystems and Forest Sciences, the University of Melbourne, presented diverse archival material relating to the influential practice of mid‐to late twentieth century landscape designer Gordon Ford. Ford was recently recognised as a person of National Significance for his contribution to an Australian naturalistic approach to landscape design. Historically he is linked to the development of the Eltham creative movement and significant figures such as the architect Alistair Knox, photographer Sue Ford and other well‐known artists, writers and designers of this time.
