Sculpture Woods: Studio Grounds of Ann Morris
Published by Museum of Northwest Art
May 2008
Eighteen years of work by bronze sculptor Ann Morris is showcased in a handsome larger-format book documenting 137 photographs and in the artist's own words, a body ranging from larger-than-life mythic figures to exquisitely delicate bronze renderings of bones and the vessels which contain them on their journey through time. The sixteen large works emphasizing the relationship between nature and the human spirit, have been photographed in the lush outdoor museum that inspired tehm; the fifteen acres that surround Morris' studio on Lummi Island, Washington.
The smaller, more recent pieces have grown out of the artist'slifelong fascination with bones and plant forms. Some are displayed in the intimate gallery adjacent to the sculptor's studio, others are in a number of galleries in the Northwest and in private collections across the country.
In addition to Morris's own words about her work-shaping in bronze, the connections between our past and our destiny - the book includes critical essays by curators and fine arts writers Ted Lindberg (Vancouver Art Gallery) and Jake Seniuk (Port Angeles Fine Art Center). Robert Vinnedge, who captured Morris's art in both its ourdoor and indoor settings, is a veteran sculpture photographer whose work appears widely in exhibitions and publications.
Sculpture Woods Studio Grounds of Ann Morris (120" x 12" 144p, hardcover) can be purchsed for $42.94 (includes Washington State sales tax), plus $5.00 shipping (U.S. postal book rate).
