This project came about as a result a grad school class were students were asked to write an essay on a “design pioneer” for the first half of the summer session. For the second half, the class was asked to create a visual project based on the designer chosen. I chose British designer, writer, thinker, and social activist, William Morris, to write about and then magically turned the essay into a 52 page chapbook which I produced at home. Please enjoy the essay!
