Excavated Landscapes from Korynn Morrison

Korynn Morrison (b. 1991) is a contemporary Australian artist based on Dharawal Country (southern Sydney, New South Wales). She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the National Art School (2012) and has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across Australia. Her recent accolades include finalist selections in the 2025 St Columba’s Art Prize and the prestigious 2025 Fisher’s Ghost Art Award.

Her process-led paintings are a tactile dance of control and surrender—built in layers, sealed in ritual, and excavated with power tools to reveal a history of perfect imperfection. Through this performative act, she negotiates themes of memory, mortality, destruction and rebirth in response to the landscape and natural world around her. Morrison’s work has been collected for private and corporate spaces across Australia and abroad, including major commissions and public-facing placements.
