About
This project draws inspiration from the work of British poet William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud. It captures the essence of a romantic journey and the enchanting imagery of a cluster of daffodils, evoking the profound connection between nature and human emotion.
The Embodiment of Poetry
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils.”
—— I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, William Wordsworth
This project began as a “gift exchange” concept, with the initial goal of creating a poetry-inspired gift. I chose a handmade book as the medium, where each page represents a line from the poem and showcases a variety of techniques, including knitting, weaving, quilting, beading, and acrylic weaving.
