Neon Parc

Exploring not just autobiography but ‘the self’ as a shifting and collective idea, Morgan’s works resist fixed interpretation or straightforward symbolism. Figurative female motifs recur throughout the exhibition: horse-riding, driving, wandering, dancing, conversing. Though often self-referential, they remain deliberately open, moving between self-portrait, ancestor, and collective presence. As Morgan describes, “one figure that is many people, or tries to speak of something shared”.

The works weave together an expansive range of references without hierarchy, allowing surreal and loosely unfolding narratives to emerge through association. Hindu mythology sits beside ancient Tamil knowledge, song lyrics, references to the work of R. Crumb, a poem by Hilaire Belloc, memories from childhood and handwritten reflections. On one vessel a naked figure rides a horse, Freak Flag flying overhead. On another, a figure smokes mid-conversation, beer in hand. Across the exhibition there is a persistent sense of optimism as flowers, saturated colour palettes and wild naked women recall hippie counterculture and its belief in freedom, collectivity and transformation. One pot declares, “At this point the most punk thing you can do is just blast love from your heart”, while another proclaims, “Things are gonna change I can feel it”. Historical, devotional and familiar, the vessel form gives weight and permanence to drawings, stories and passing thoughts that might otherwise feel fleeting or incidental.

As the exhibition title suggests, Morgan approaches artmaking as a sacred, daily practice in which small or accidental moments can become emotionally charged or transformative. The sculptures function both as records of experience and as offerings, expressions of being alive, searching, dreaming, and moving through the world with openness and belief.
