Morwenna Morrison (b.1964), draws influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images and/or contrived theatrical pieces constructed in the studio. 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.’

Morwenna Morrison is based in Penzance. A BA (Hons) graduate of the Exeter College of Art and Design’s Fine Art programme, she has exhibited extensively across the UK as both a solo artist and a contributor to group shows in the UK and abroad. Morwenna has been selected on several occasions for the RA summer show, The RWA annual open exhibition, and the Lynn Painter Stainers prize.
