About
Why this artist matters now
Jenny Kee is an Australian textile and fashion designer born in 1947. Working primarily in hand-knitted wool and silk, she became known for bold, figurative knitwear that drew on Australian landscape, wildlife, and Aboriginal visual culture. Her garments functioned as wearable art, combining craft tradition with contemporary design innovation. Active from the 1970s onward, Kee's work challenged the boundaries between fashion and fine art during the postwar expansion of Australian design.
