Ode to Cracker Night

Millie Shorter is a Newcastle based textiles designer specialising in screen printing. Her screen-printed fabrics and tees reflect experiences and memories of living in Darwin. She was enamoured by the unique flavour, buildings, bush and oddities of Territory life.

Her neon-coloured series is a cheerful ode to the NT’s infamous cracker night – an interpretation of the blinding lights and loud noises that leave Darwin scorched and smouldering.
