A closer look at the artist's original work in support of When We All Vote
Morgan Blair with one of her original works.
In support of ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative benefiting When We All Vote, Morgan Blair has created a trio of original works, each distinguished by the interplay of alternating, distorted shapes. The artist first transformed shredded bills and scrap paper into pigmented clay and pulp, which became the basis for textured surfaces.
Hard-edged, taped-off acrylic gradients were then layered atop one another, creating dynamic compositions defined by clashing space and color. Darkened areas appear within the pictorial frames, like mysterious shadows cast by unseen objects. Though intentionally obscured in translation, these interlocking forms reference elements of children’s still lives, claymations, and dioramas.
Of this series, Blair notes, “I'm happy to contribute towards When We All Vote’s mission to combat voter suppression and to increase civic education towards the goal of electing effective leadership. We need people in office who are dedicated to upholding our basic rights, and who will advocate tirelessly for marginalized groups whose rights are increasingly being stripped away."
