Making Form in a Broken World
Abstract
Continuing the foray into the work of Mairet, Morris and then circuiting back to Ruskin, the discussion centres in the nature of a broken world (a world being compromised because of the way work relations are broken up) and how craft work might reveal and offer correctives to such. Is this thinking utopian? Is it simply re-heating old Arts and Crafts arguments? Is it just too late to do anything?
