The original drawings of the American Sienna Morris are nothing more than a heap of numbers from 1 to 12. Why them? The artist uses only numbers from the clock face, because her work is not just drawings with a mathematical bias. These are philosophical pictures about how seconds disappear and how the fourth dimension (time) shapes the other three.
Portland-based artist Sienna Morris is 27 years old. The American woman devoted most of her life to the fine arts. And three years ago, she gave up the usual strokes and began to draw with numbers. For this technique, the young artist invented her own name - numberism.
Sienna Morris summed up a philosophical basis for her work. She not only sculpts numbers one to another, but draws numbers from broken dials, trying to grab his majesty time by the mantle. Seconds disappear and are lost in the stream of life, like numbers in the paintings of a young American woman. But only together they create a complete image.
The creativity of Sienna Morris calls to appreciate the present, because there will be no other chance to paint a picture of your life. The artist herself defines it this way: “Time is all that we have. It is only through him that we know the world, and this is the most important thing that we should not miss, but we can lose”.
Philosophical paintings owe their appearance to stress. Misfortune, as usual, helped, although not immediately. The artist was tormented by thoughts about the future, about how long she had left to live and whether she would have time to accomplish what she had planned.
True, then it dawned on Sienna Morris that while she was thinking about her woeful life, time was running out. Neither dreams about the future, nor regrets about the past are worth absolutely nothing, this is a wasted time, which will have nothing to remember and which will be impossible to return.
