Suspended Artifact

William Morris

1993 · Glass, iron · Modern and Contemporary Art

William Morris's suspended artifacts produce a magical connection in viewers' minds between today's reality and the prehistoric past. The works are relevant and contemporary yet provocatively ancient. Are these tusks, bones, and shards newly unearthed artifacts or were they gathered, blown, and formed in the studio of a contemporary artist?
