Sarah MorrisBorn in the UK in 1967, Sarah Morris is based in New York. The internationally acclaimed artist is known for her geometric abstract paintings using diagrammatic grids. Since the 1990s, Morris has produced a large body of work using paintings, films, site-specific wall paintings drawings, and sculptures which reflect her interest in networks, typologies, architecture and the city. She sees her paintings as self-generating, open to interpretation, motion and change, giving the viewer a heightened sense that they are part of a larger system. Creating a virtual architecture of forms, the work incorporates a wide array of subjects from multinational corporations to transportation networks and maps, GPS technology and even lunar cycles. In her films, a parallel practice, Morris explores the psycho-geography and the dynamic nature of cities in flux through the multi-layered and fragmented narratives they contain. The situations the artist places herself and the viewers within reflect the hierarchies we inhabit.
