Now a member of the vibrant Sonsoles print studio in Peckham where I have been screen printing onto Morris's designs. The whole process of reconfiguring and making 'Space' among the fully charged repetition of pattern is akin to weeding, pruning, dividing and landscaping. The garden elements I want to return Morris's plants to are the ground , what happens underneath and way above in the sky.

Working so closely and physically with the wallpapers certainly increased both my appreciation of the complexity and beauty of William Morris's designs as well as knee and back pain!
