Annie Morris

Annie Morris’ stacked forms evoke a sense of tension (strength and fragility, joy and grief, precarity and resilience).  At some point in our lives we all have these feelings (Morris experienced a personal tragedy around 10 years ago) yet the vibrant and rich colours are full of childlike fun, joy and optimism and are more about the periods of rebuilding and recovery, than the tragedy. While her practice spans drawing to textiles, Morris has become best known for her Stacks.  These totems begin with a drawing on paper before being later translated, intuitively, into pigment and sand on plaster with a core of foam.
