Annie Morris Sculpture

This “Stack” sculpture, inspired by Annie Morris, features three vibrantly colored spheres stacked on top. The striking contrast of Cadmium Red, bright yellow, and soft lavender creates a unique visual tension. The seemingly precarious yet stable balance not only showcases the Annie Morris Sculpture’s artistic charm but also carries a profound message about the fragility and resilience of life.

Who is the artist Annie Morris?

Annie Morris is a contemporary British artist born in London in 1978. She is best known for her “Stack” series of sculptures—a delicate balance of vibrantly colored spheres of varying sizes stacked together. Her artistic practice encompasses sculpture, painting, tapestry, and other diverse media.

What is the symbolic meaning behind Annie Morris’s Stack sculptures?

The “Stack” series stems from Annie Morris’s personal experience: after experiencing the immense grief of a miscarriage, she began to express her emotions through color and stacking. The stacked spheres, seemingly precarious yet resilient, symbolize the fragility and resilience of life. This precarious balance reflects the strength people find to continue living amidst loss.

What inspires Annie Morris’s choices of colors and their combinations?

1. Personal experience and emotional expression
   After experiencing the pain of miscarriage, she used color to convey emotion, transforming grief into healing and hope.
2. A rural setting
   Her color palette is often inspired by the countryside of Dordogne, France, or the surrounding landscapes of Sussex, England.
3. Intuitive Capture of Color Combinations
   She also draws inspiration from everyday life. For example, the fleeting moment of seeing a blue car passing a red car sparks her love and application of color pairings.
4. Experimentation and a Passion for Paint Texture
   She enjoys the vividness and fragility of wet paint, exploring and layering raw pigments like Ultramarine, Viridian, and Ochre to preserve their texture and saturation.
5. Inspired by Personal Experience and Painting Habits
   She often extracts color patterns and combinations from her daily paintings. Early on, this intuitive painting led to the development of the color language of her three-dimensional “Stack” sculptures.

Appearance description of this Annie Morris Sculpture.

This sculpture, composed of three spheres stacked in a powerful, tensile form, exudes the vibrant color and balanced beauty of modern art. The large sphere at the top is Cadmium Red, a rich, vibrant color; the smaller sphere in the center is a bright yellow, as warm as sunlight; and the large sphere at the bottom is a soft, lavender hue, creating a sense of stability and balance. The three spheres in the Annie Morris Sculpture, stacked one on top of the other, rest on a light beige cubic base, appear to seek stability within the subtle pull of gravity, conveying both fragile tension and resilient strength.
