The August edition of Baldwin’s ‘On View’ focuses on Annie Morris’ 2023 work ‘Bronze Stack 3 - Cobalt Turquoise’.
Bronze Stack 3 reflects Annie’s signature exploration of tactile forms and resonant colour. Rising nearly two metres tall, this totemic sculpture commands attention with its delicate balance and vibrant patina, positioning each rounded volume in a lyric ascent.
The vertically stacked spheres—crafted from patinated bronze and anchored by steel—engage with gravity in a dialogue of tension and equilibrium. The cool, luminous hue of Cobalt Turquoise, emblematic of Morris’ evolving palette, imbues the work with both serenity and subtle disquiet.
The work very clearly aligns with the artist’s broader artistic trajectory of transforming intimate, psychological experiences into materially and spatially immersive works. Through her series of stack sculptures she excavates themes of balance, memory, and emotional architecture—inviting viewers to sense the gravity not only of matter, but of inner worlds held in shape.
Annie Morris (b. 1978) is a British multidisciplinary artist based in London, whose practice spans sculpture, painting, drawing, and tapestry. She studied at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art, then at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Giuseppe Penone (1997–2001), and completed her education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London in 2003.
Since the early 2000s, Annie has steadily built an international presence through solo exhibitions, institutional projects, and art fair presentations. Following her studies in Paris and London, she first began exhibiting widely in the UK, with early recognition coming through her participation in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the 2012 group show Merging Bridges at the Baku Museum of Modern Art in Azerbaijan.
