Joe Morris

Joe Morris’ artwork is both ancient and contemporary, drawing upon pre-history and Universal geometry to create art which occupies a realm somewhere between painting and sculpture.

Tadelakt lime plaster has been used in Morocco for centuries as a decorative wall covering. Joe has developed his own unique techniques to create artworks using this ancient material, subtly blending pigments and carving into the surface to create the image.

‘I find the process magical and alchemic, you start with a white powder and turn it into a beautiful, solid, colourful, shining object. The tiny fissures and cracks which occur only add to the appeal. My work is largely inspired by nature, and the elemental forces which shape the landscape. I am also interested in the megalithic monuments and earthworks created by the ancient cultures of Britain, particularly the Neolithic and Bronze age stone circles which are a constant source of fascination. Geometric forms also inform my work, the elegance, symmetry and simplicity of geometry is extremely satisfying. The most elemental and simple shape is the circle, and despite it’s simplicity, there seem to be endless ways in which it can be explored. Circles have been important aspects of art and sacred imagery throughout history within many cultures. The images I make are abstract and usually minimal. The aim is to make quiet, contemplative art which will connect with people at a deep, universal level.’
