Textile Designer and Artist William Morris emphasised that true originality in art and design comes from deep engagement with tradition and craftsmanship, rather than from striving for novelty: ‘The past is not dead, but living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make’. In other words, artists should draw inspiration from the past while infusing their work with their unique own perspective and context.
