CHARLIE MORRIS
Charlie’s artistic practice involves a variety of media including sculpture and found objects, and photo-based media often grouped into installation arrangements and site-specific environments
A mixed-media artist, utilizing lens-based imagery in conjunction with other media such as drawing, painting, collage, and text-based works
Utilizing a variety of visual strategies such as juxtaposition, scale manipulation, and contextual shifts, Morris explores the tenuous connection between that which we perceive to be a genuine subjective experience, verses that of a more manufactured outcome of desire. An engineered strategy through which corporate and governmental interests mask as personal agency
When displayed collectively, in juxtaposition, these various media elicit new, often divergent readings alluding to such concepts as power relations-disparity, territorial ownership, rampant consumerism, inescapable natural forces, social and political angst, crass product advertising, and environmental loss
