Annie Morris
OVERVIEW
Annie Morris（b. 1978, London, United Kingdom）is a British artist who utilises tapestry, painting, and drawing in her work. Morris studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris under Giuseppe Penone before completing her education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 2003.
Morris is best known for her “Stack” sculptures, which comprise colourful, irregularly shaped orbs arranged one atop another in vertical strings. The artist’s “Stacks” are made from plaster and cast bronze and are painted in vivid raw pigments such as ultramarine, viridian, and ochre. In this series, which was initiated during a period of grieving following a miscarriage, spheres appear to hover above the floor on plinths on which they rest, forever threatening to topple over—a nod to both the miracle of life and its precarity. In addition to her “Stack” series, Morris explores the feminine body in her drawing-like tapestries and linear figural sculptures, as well as in abstract paintings like her voluptuously gestural, allover “Face” series. These works signal the myriad ways of inhabiting the female body. Her work has been exhibited at the Fosun Foundation, Shanghai, China; Château La Coste, Provence, France; Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire, UK. Morris’s work is in several public collections including Long Museum, Shanghai, China; Louis Vuitton Foundation, Paris, France; and University of Colorado Art Museum, Boulder, USA.
