Have begun research and have the necessary permissions to proceed with the book. Research in Progress: I am presently researching an article on the interior design of Owen Jones. I am focusing on a collection of designs by Owen Jones at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the Prints and Drawings Department, and doing background reading. I am interested in writing a short monograph on Owen Jones flat pattern designs In the Victoria and Albert Museum. The recent museum publication (2010) on his patterns indicates a need for such a publication. Exhibitions Ornament and Color.
