Description
In Hidden in Plain Sight: Seeing the unseen in nature, the arts, and architecture, biographer and architectural historian Zeny Edwards invites readers into a meditative journey where language, nature, art, and architecture converge.
Non-linear and fragmentary, Zeny's essays argue that true meaning lives in the absence beneath the layers of time and space, in the periphery, in the silence, and in the interplay of light and dark. She delves deeply into the intricacies of specificity, hyper-reality, antithesis, and the essence of being present.
Zeny believes that by adopting the practice of "slow looking", we can transform moments of everyday life into new and meaningful ways of enriching our connection with the world and ourselves.

About the Author
Zeny Edwards OAM is an architectural historian and writer. She has published across a variety of subjects, from children’s picture books to biographies, architectural histories, and monographs about interesting people and places in history. Her most recent book is Painting with Stone: The Story of the Melocco Brothers (2025).
With the help of her best architect-friends, Zeny is completing her research for her next book: Home: The Modernist Architects of the Australian Dream. Spanning the period in architecture from 1917 to 1965, the book will focus on lesser-known Australian architects whose work embodied the ideals of modern home design.
