Morris has taken the iconic comic book of our youth and reduced it to narrow strips and bands and re-invented it into a mass of bright color and texture when seen from a distance. The constructions embody a certain lightness and fluidity. The uniformly undulating surface of gentle peaks and curves in the folds of the comic book pages captures the viewer with a story as it unfolds. From a distance, the viewer sees only the interplay of colors and texture. However, as the viewer is drawn closer the superheroes of the comic book fly, struggle, and climb in small fragments and vignettes. The expressive faces of the comic book characters show all the emotions of the human psyche. Word bubbles from the comic book text are clearly visible throughout the pieces, allowing the viewer to read the dialog of the action heroes. The compilation of thousands of comic book sections form constructions of various sizes, leaving viewers with an unforgettable image of energetic architectural elements in a distinctive physical composition.
