OLIVIA LEIGH MORRIS

OLIVIA LEIGH MORRIS is a multi-dimensional artist based in Melbourne, Australia. In search of “tracing betweenness”, she focuses on the investigation of space by playing with concepts of addiction, subtraction, unearthing and mapping.

“DISLOCATED RELOCATIONS”
(Intaglio print etching/aquatint on copper plates)

Her artistic approach translates into a multi-faceted body of work consisting of prints, sculptures and site-specific intervention: they represent Morris’ attempts to merge boundaries by moulding negative space into positive space and combining the past, present and future.

“A MERGING OF BOUNDARIES”
(Aquatint copper plates on Somerset Grey)

“INTERFACE RESEARCH”
(Off Site Installation)

“DISCLOCATED-RELOCATION 2”
(horizon, edges, boundaries and ghosts)

Her prints are achieved by using the techniques of intaglio print, etching and aquatint: a further expression of her subtraction/addiction artistic approach, due the process requiring the engraving or cut of the material to obtain the final result.

“PALIMPSEST OF PEBBLES”

“ROCKY OUTCROP”
