Rebecca Morris "Drawings"
Harris Lieberman
This event has ended.
Harris Lieberman presents an exhibition of Rebecca Morris’s drawings. This will be her second solo show at the gallery and the first to present her works on paper. Created within the last five years, the selection of ink and watercolor drawings reflects an ongoing and integral element of Morris’s work.
The play of wet materials on paper creates what Morris terms the improvised moment: generating a number of moving parts whose final outcome captures the immediacy of their creation. Working at a speed that allows ideas to take form quickly, Morris develops a language on paper that coheres throughout her oeuvre. The smaller scale forces her to focus on a different set of challenges that in turn influences her larger scale production.
The cross-fertilization between Morris’s drawings and paintings is reciprocal. In the works on canvas, Morris’s forms become elements within a larger composition; in the drawings, they maintain their autonomy as singular, individual moments. Shown together, tensions between works, such as those in value and color, are augmented, bringing each into a dialogue of oppositions and harmonies.
Rebecca Morris was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
