Biography Initially undertaking Three Dimensional Design at Grays School of Art Morris went on to graduate with BA (Hons) in Ceramic Design in 2010 from The Glasgow School of Art. Since he has gone on to exhibit his work nationally and internationally as well as work with a range of artists, institutions and work on various public projects. Currently based in Aberdeen Morris is often referred to as a ‘Nomadic Ceramicist’ working across Scotland.Working within archival and heritage based projects has been central to Morris’s current work and development. His most recent work engages with concepts of craft, material and place, initially motivated by an investigation of his own family heritage and material culture. Ultimately his current work looks to encourage its audience to consider how they interact with their own habitats, be they man made or natural, as well our collective connections to heritage and tradition.
