TERRAFORMED • 220 CREATIVE SPACE GALLERY
19—29 July 2018 • LOUISE MORGAN: TERRAFORMED • 220 Creative Space Gallery, NSW
⮟
It's with great anticipation that I will be having very first solo exhibition at 220 Creative Space Gallery, curated by Tania Browitt.
On show will be my major body of work from the past 18 months, developed during the end of my postgraduate studies at the National Art School. These works explore the phenomena of the Anthropocene; in particular how humankind has become a geological force, challenging the notion of nature as separate or parallel to our species experience and impact.
Also featured in this show is some of the work I developed in Scotland in 2016 as part of my 2 month residency at the Glasgow School of Arts courtesy of the Mark Henry Cain Memorial Scholarship. The 'Riverstone studies' are the genesis of my experimental drawing series focusing on water & carbon and I am excited to display them to the public for the first time and alongside consequent works - 'Melt' and 'Rain'.
Please join me for opening drinks on Thursday 19 July 2018, 6-8pm.

Hello 2018!
I'm delighted to share that my 'Melt' works have been featured in the latest edition of The Ecological Citizen - a peer-reviewed, free-to-access journal with a focus on ecocentrism. It's a great read for those interested in ecological perspectives.
You can find journal here: The Ecological Citizen Vol 1 No 2 2018
On a side note, last year I updated this website with my latest projects that emerged from my MFA at the National Art School, including works that didn't make it into the public exhibition. If you haven't already, check them out.
