Ah, what shall we say then, but that earth threatened often Shall live on forever that such things may be, That the dry seed shall quicken
the hard earth shall soften, And the spring-bearing birds flutter north o’er the sea, That earth’s garden may bloom round my love’s feet and me?
This film came with an open dream brief from i-D London. They asked to make the William Morris legacy come alive again through a group of young Londoners. I fell in love with Morris’ work, especially his writing. The base for the film was the Loewe x Morris collection and I added the poem as a voice-over, but also for visual guidance. His prints come alive by multiplying the screens.
