Nicole Morris
Nicole Morris (b. 1986, based in London) makes art about transition, evocative photographs and installations where 'one thing becomes something else'. Some of her images juxtapose the naked human figure in unexpected, almost ritualistic, fusion with anonymous natural environments, where the figure appears almost as beached consciousness - like a miraculously unharmed bottle with a message surfacing after the storm, despite nature's chaotic processes, co-existing with the background rather than giving it meaning. In a different series, Morris has created images of blank road signs placed on fields, on shores, underscoring the sense of disorientation language (and its absence) can instill, and the way in which experience can transcend description.
In the artist's words, her works illustrate 'where A becomes B, where the Beast becomes the Prince, where life turns into death. Where through a state of metamorphosis the distant polarities seem not so distant. Where the boundaries between the two become blurred. Where a language exists without "language"...The half light. Entres chien et loup'.
