Pietra Piasentina
The Artwork
Gail Morris’s journey moves inward and inevitably leads toward light. Light becomes the protagonist of the sculpture, as it makes the stone vibrate and allows us to perceive the intensity of the material.
Removing material thus becomes an act of giving meaning — a path toward the essential that invites us to reflect on what we see and what we choose to see.
The Artist
Gail Morris was born in Bangor, North Wales (United Kingdom). From 1976 to 1979 she attended the Wimbledon School of Art in London, where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Sculpture. From 1982 to 1984 she completed an advanced course at the Saint Martin’s School of Art in London.
She has exhibited her works since 1978, first in London and throughout the United Kingdom, and later in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Romania. She has participated in international sculpture symposia in Chile, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy, and has led sculpture workshops in Croatia and Slovenia..
