Bright lines weave through and over each other, each line made of different colors, one giving way to the next: blue to yellow to red; red to pink to gray to violet. The effect is of a precarious balance between quietude and activity.
It is this meeting of diverse elements – woven together to make a whole -- that forms the underlying theme to Morrison’s aptly named exhibition of new works, "Warp and Weft," on view August 1 - 31, 2019. Those familiar with Morrison’s previous work will immediately note the distinctive shift. The new works focus more on painting – with the grid pattern appearing throughout the works in the show, though seen from different angles or heights. Some, like the small metal wall pieces, give us only bits of grid – as if Morrison has zoomed in on one small piece of a vast network. Others, like the large canvas work “Flowers for Brains,” have the opposite effect, showing the multiplicity of grids as if seen from a distance.
