Today's Scrambled Creatures
Nonfiction. Art. Painting. "Morgan takes it forward. She paints flesh with gravity. Her twisted, distorted, disfigured figures have a raw psychosexual intensity that inverts the naturalized Classical Greek ideal. Their bodies are ill at ease, plagued with cramps and palsy. Morgan goes beyond the caricature to render the gesture as something felt from within. She paints the pain. Bones press out against the skin, sockets stretched to bursting. One apprehends the contortion intuitively through one's own body. But her ladies appear to insist on savoring their discomfort, as though it is something they have carefully and artfully cultivated, like a contrarian yoga of neurosis."—Don Carroll
