statement + contact
Morgan is an artist and weaver based in New York City. Her work comes together at the intersection of art, craft, and design, with emphasis and expertise in textile techniques. The process of weaving is a driving force behind her practice - she is continually propelled by its repetitive rhythm and movement. With the building of warp and weft, an inherent grid structure forms. Sometimes she moves with the grid, other times breaking from it. This methodical process and a desire for precision shapes her work. Morgan enjoys using structured materials which oppose the traditional softness of textiles and blend her work into the realm of sculpture. She often explores themes of time and perception, but sometimes she is simply examining color, shape, and material.
Morgan has been weaving since 2012 and holds a BFA in Fibers, from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She is the author of Weaving Untangled, an illustrated beginner’s weaving guide that covers tools, creating a warp, loom set up, how to read a pattern draft, weaving tips, finishing techniques, resources, a selection of pattern drafts, and a project planning section. She teaches one-on-one weaving classes which take students through the process outlined in her book. Sign up for a weaving class for a hands-on experience creating a project tailored to you.
