Morwenna Morrison is an artist living and working in Penzance, Cornwall, and a graduate of Exeter College of Art and Design. She has exhibited extensively across the UK as both a solo artist and a contributor to group shows. Morrison’s predominantly oil on canvas works draw influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images. She 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.’” 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 aging, nostalgia, and even the specter of death, in order to anchor ourselves to the world, history, and each other.
