Ann Morris has become a priestess of sorts, investing her mind and
spirit into an ambitious oeuvre of figurative bronzes that speak
with a singular and meditative voice. In a comprehensive and
insightful essay, Ted Lindberg traces the arc of Morris's artistic
development from her beginnings as a mother, philosophy student,
and Pasadena printmaker, to her reclusion on the wind-swept bluffs
of Lummi Island in north Puget Sound. There Morris has created an
extraordinary bronze park that she calls Sculpture Woods, a 15-acre
sanctuary of stately forest and highbank waterfront that is home to
her studio and to a winding path populated by 16 sculptural
tableaus seen through a Jungian lens. Monumental figures emerge
from the forest, as if stepping through a rift in time from the
mists of classical and Celtic antiquities, to tell their archetypal
tales. In a second essay, Jake Seniuk muses on how Morris moved
from such overtly mythological themes to a kind of talismanic
naturalism when she turned to an ongoing series of more intimately
scaled bronzes that trace an ongoing Bone Journey. Unfolding her
own creation myth through her work, Morris remains true to the
marriage of the Platonic and the aboriginal, where a clear-eyed
awareness of mortality is liberating and transcendent.
