These paintings treat surface as story, where marks accumulate through abrasion, repetition, and change. Layers build, are worn back, and re-emerge, echoing the slow negotiations of the natural world. By slowing the gaze, the 'Artefacts Of Nature' series invites a reconsideration of scale, asking the viewer to linger long enough for entire worlds to reveal themselves within the smallest fragments of nature.

Says Morrison: “Colour speaks in many volumes and creates a variety of conversations across the surface of a painting. Colour blocking my compositions from the bones up and strategically planning how each colour communicates on top of one another has formed a methodology to bring depth and dimension to my compositions.”

Litre upon litre of paint, each colour building on the last, she forms a history upon the surface of each panel, before finally burying her entire composition beneath a thick final coat. This performative burial phase has become a ritual of Morrison’s practice. Process is the heartbeat that gives life to Morrison’s work.
