Note: Centrapetal design motif is similarly apparent in the screen-printed panel (P.68. Ibid) Mary Schoeser in the same text describes Stewart's 1950s textiles as "...drawing from an oeuvre that was consistently humane, dealing with the human form, face and features... Stewart tapped into cultural iconography representative of individuality, risk-taking and idealism that were, on the one hand, particularly Scottish and socialist, and on the other, universally understood." (P.67. Ibid)
