How can the past help us imagine unconstrained lives when not all traces remain? To explore these questions, Alice Hattrick turns to the embroidery designer May Morris and her circle, including her father William Morris; her mother Jane, an artist's model and embroiderer herself; and MF, May's gender non-conforming partner of twenty years. Through this queer encounter with the Arts and Crafts movement, Hattrick shifts attention from dominant narratives of design towards intimacy, labour and domestic life. Looking to May - alongside others who have found in textiles a means of resistance - Hattrick traces connections between these histories and their own queer identity, family ties and precarious working conditions within an ableist society. Expansive in thought, form and time, \u003cem\u003eFancy Work\u003c\/em\u003e together archival fragments, domestic spaces and ongoing sites of struggle, insisting on the political force of often overlooked acts of defiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Hattrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180427237X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804272374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alice Hattrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483393896703,"sku":"9781804272374","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8771dfa-0f53-40e5-82b7-7967f90ac9fc.jpg?v=1778038536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fancy-work-alice-hattrick-9781804272374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
