Qwerty 2
writing and design Stephen Banham | publisher Letterbox
Exploring the wonderful diversity of the Australian vernacular, this second issue in the Qwerty series asks Mimmo Cozzolino (noted Australian designer and design collector), whether there is a distinctive Australian vernacular style. Since seeking an ‘Australian Style’ is a self-defeating argument, the answer was invariably inconclusive, yet well worth the process of investigation.
