Annie Morris @ YSP, The Weston Gallery

The exhibition Future, features tapestry works and sculpture by Annie Morris.  The sculptures are precariously balanced towers of pigmented lumpen spheres. Formed by hand in plaster and sand and cast in bronze, the spherical forms are painted with hand-sourced, raw pigments in vivid hues such as Ultramarine, Viridian and Ochre; colour that is so bound in to the form that it seems to become the material of the sculpture.

The Stacks convey both instability and bold defiance. Morris’s drawing and tapestry combine personal ciphers with mark-making and grid-like structures that sit between abstraction and figuration, creating a singular intimacy.
