After visiting a few of the archives I really took to the work of William Morris with his floral prints and very particular style. His work links in well with the work that I produced over the summer as with out me even knowing a lot of my work was very organic with a strong influence from nature and wildlife etc. The special collections archive in the MMU library had a collection of wallpaper samples by William Morris that he would have used going door to door showing people his work and selling roles of his bespoke wallpapers. I find his work very visually pleasing I wanted to take on the fact that its very representative of what it is rather than being abstract which is similar in the way in which I work. On the other hand his work is very dated with the colours used and even the designs I wanted to his work as a strong inspiration for my own but bringing it into the present day.
