Morwenna Morrison

 

Morwenna Morrison's predominantly oil on canvas works draw influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images. Morrison posits her work as being ‘an analysis of today’s social, psychological and political issues, set within an historical context’.

 

 ‘Exploring, in particular, the notion of time itself as an ‘unseen’ but objective measure of a subjective temporality, or ‘lived time’ as she puts it, Morrison’s paintings use collage, layering and juxtaposition to reveal, exquisitely, the ways in which we, as individuals and societies, construct and deconstruct the phenomena of life cycles, the psychology of ageing, nostalgia, and even the spectre of death, in order to anchor ourselves to the world, history, and each other.’
