• Quote from Wiki :

“News from Nowhere (1890) is a classic work combining utopian socialism and soft science fiction written by the artist, designer and socialist pioneer William Morris. In a future society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of production. In this society there is no private property, no big cities, no authority, no monetary system, no divorce, no courts, no prisons, and no class systems. This agrarian society functions simply because the people find pleasure in nature, and therefore they find pleasure in their work.As Morris, the romance character, quests for love and fellowship—and through them for a reborn self—he encounters romance archetypes in Marxist guises. The book offers Morris' answers to a number of frequent objections to socialism, and underlines his belief that socialism will entail not only the abolishment of private property but also of the divisions between art, life, and work."

My project aims to present to audiences " utopian of crafts" in another way. "Drawing a perfect Circle" I image there is a craftsman, who exits in such a utopian concentrates on “drawing circles" in the whole of his life. He gains pleasures from doing this simple thing, keeps his esteem to this crafts, gets meanings from the circulating movement.
