“Permanent Moments” by Annie Morris
Where: Timothy Taylor
When: November 2 - December 16, 2023
Why It’s Worth a Look: “Permanent Moments'' delves into British artist Annie Morris’s memories and personal experiences, showcasing new monumental sculptures made of bronze and plaster, as well as bold stitched and interwoven tapestries overlaying a color palette of dampened turquoises, oxblood reds, and viridian greens. She draws from intuition and translates her sketches into tapestries through various stitching methods and color mixing, giving off the impression they were painted with brushstrokes.
Know Before You Go: The idea behind Morris’s “Stacks” series came to her in 2012, while she was mourning a stillbirth. She began drawing oblong, ovular orbs that symbolized eggs and the swollen belly of pregnancy, carving them into foam and assembling them into unbelievable structures, translating her tragic experience into a commemoration of faith and defiance.
