The wild part of us is not something we need to find. It's something we've learned how to ignore. The edge you spend your life smoothing over. The instinct you bury under productivity.
There is something about the landscape that doesn't let you hide. It doesn't adjust itself for your comfort. It doesn't soften when you arrive. It just continues. Nature doesn't fear its own power. It grows its capacity to hold it, and then births new life time and time again.
There is both a harshness and a gentleness. A simplicity and complexity. A calm within the chaotic. And somewhere in the middle of these polarities is pure connection to what is innately wild within us all.
Morrison's creative process mirrors these natural rhythms. Colour is a language that speaks in many volumes. By constructing her compositions from the bones up through colour blocking and strategic layering, she has developed a distinct methodology that brings depth and dimensional resonance to each work. Over time, each surface reaches a point of energetic tension before being sealed with a thick final coat, what Morrison refers to as a ritualistic burial. As in nature, destruction becomes a necessary precursor to transformation.
The excavation phase echoes the act of unearthing something long buried. Often unaware of what lies beneath, she re-curates each composition with power tools in hand, carving through layers of pigment to reveal the history embedded in each surface, imperfect, unpredictable, and alive. Each mark, scrape, and fragment becomes an embedded relic of the natural world. These surfaces act as maps of accumulated memory, revealing traces of time, tension, and transformation.
