British artist Claire Morgan has become known around the world for creating stunning installations that have hung in the air, which she has been doing for the past five years. All of them are very elaborate, fragile and delicate, composed of a huge number of small suspended objects. The use of organic elements in aerial sculptures: fruits, grains, stuffed animals, insects, leaves and insects simultaneously awakens in us a sense of beauty and horror.
Claire Morgan's sculptural work is the Earth and all life on it. Shards of glass and scraps of polyethylene are suspended in space, fruits, leaves, feathers, suspended in the air, stretch along the exhibition hall. Huge, yet light and airy, natural fragile structures carry a mystical combination of death, decay and constant life, as well as chaos and control. This theme is easy to follow when examining the installation of strawberries through which a dead bird fell. The once fragrant and sweet berries will wither and rot, changing their color and shape, gradually falling to the ground. As a result, the most attractive part of this sculpture will be a dead bird lying on the ground. Morgan's typical use of organic materials speaks of our relationship and influence on the natural world and the cycles of life and death.
Most of the sculptural installation is created by the artist in the studio, but nevertheless, the main and most difficult process of finalizing and assembling the installation takes place directly at the place of its demonstration, in the exhibition hall.
Born in Belfast, Claire Morgan studied sculpture at Ulster University and now works in London and organizes both solo shows and group exhibitions in Europe. Her installations as well as paintings can be found in many international private collections.
