William Morris travelled to Iceland in search of an answer to the problem of how to live. His journals, written for a friend, unconsciously explore questions of travel; leaving, arriving, hurry or delay. What it means to dread a place you've never been to or to encounter the actuality of a long held vision
Lavinia Greenlaw draws out these questions as she follows in the footsteps of Morris's prose. The result is a new and composite work, which brilliantly explores our conflicted reasons for not staying at home
