After the initial research, I learnt something about Willian Morris, and the most impressive things are his wallpaper designs and his attitude toward nature. Personally, I like his patterns a lot and wanted to do something with them, something that is eco-friendly. Then, I saw those amazing works in the storybox collective, and the Furoshiki project caught my eyes. I think using Furoshiki is a very good way to carry things because it can turn into many forms to suit anything, and it doesn’t take up as many places as shopping bags when they not in use.
In response to eco-friendly design, I decided to do Furoshiki to reduce the use of one-time plastic bags. And to make it more convenient for people to carry around, I combine the idea of “scarf on bag” with Furoshikis. Now the Furoshiki is not only a cloth to wrap things up or to turn into a bag, it is also a decoration on the bag. And inspired by William Morris’s wallpapers, I designed the patterns with plants and similar structures to Morris’s and Islamic patterns.

I made four ironic animated wallpapers in response to Morris' concept of the pleasures of labour. In today's society where workers are still under huge pressure in the workplace.

Combining Morris's advocacy of nature, made a collage animation, hoping to arouse reflection on the pollution caused by over-consumption and over-industrialization.

P1 compares the amusement park scene with the industry in the evening, show the beginning of gradual industrialization. The audience with the trumpet shouting and the bird fly across the frame, leading to P2.

P2 Excessive consumption in the process of urbanization a part of the manifestations.

P3 Restore the pollution of the industry, the smoke of the collage is made of garbage elements.

The people who swing the racket are hitting the COVID-19 virus. Can all we experience now be traceable?

P4 People do not realize that they are already in a garbage environment. What we need are also the cause of production pollution, as a cyclical process.

K2012810 As we all know, we can feel Morris's work visually and tactilely, but what about the smell? If the visual impression of William Morris can be combined with the fragrance, will it be able to give plants longer-lasting vitality?

According to the feedback from last week, I decided to combine my two idea concepts, and inspired by Strawberry thieves from William Morris, I plan to apply the Chinese elements like magpie which represent lucky and flowers like peony, wintersweet in my picture and I will present them by embroidery.

Inspired by William Morris's way of focusing on plants he observes in British gardens instead of exotic flowers, I also want to design a pattern from our unremarkable life.
Then, I decided to design a pattern from daily recipes. By learning morris's method to create the pattern and taking advice from peers and Paul, I did experiments digitally and hand-drawing.
I hope I can apply this pattern to kitchen-related products, such as placemat, table runner, table cloth or coaster, oven gloves, and apron, food-shopping bag perhaps?

Basic on peers feedback and further consideration, I decided to work on my second concept which inspired by  William Morris‘ perspective on domestic plants planted in his garden.

I decided to combine Morris's idea of the pleasure of labour with the current social phenomenon of stressful work by making a dynamic electronic wallpaper with Morris's wallpaper in the form of a collage.

My initial idea.

As I researched I became more interested in Morris' ideas on natural dye techniques, artistic dress, women, working conditions, quality of goods, pollution of rivers and how this is all related and relevant today.

Week 3 - William Morris - Identifying themes of interest in his work

# data[].attributes.body
As I researched William Morris and his influence and made notes, two key themes of interest have started appearing the strongest, the theme of machines and their effects, and destruction of a more natural way of life, and the theme of overabundance and consumerism stemming from the industrial revolution. I intend to research further into these identified themes to pursue my direction, though I have already identified areas of overlap between the two. I am interested in how William Morris's reflections and predictions affect us today, and how the ideas he outlined are still of vital importance in sustainability and striving for an equal and fair society and economy. Have things just got worse since his predictions?

I would like to uphold Morris's "handmade" concept, combine his poetic works and patterns to create a "artificially recreated three-dimensional space" and make his magic garden a new presentation.

I had two different initial ideas due to different interesting starting point I researched so far. I haven't decided which one I should go deeper yet.
