Crystal Morey’s captivating sculptures blur the lines between humanity and the animal kingdom. Inspired by the intricate tapestry of the natural world, Morey’s creations are not merely fantastical beings; they serve as a powerful commentary on the interconnectedness of all living things. Through her art, she compels us to confront contemporary environmental challenges and envision a future where humans and animals coexist in harmony.
Morey’s sculptures are crafted from porcelain, a delicate medium that contrasts beautifully with the strength and resilience of the figures they portray. By combining human and animal forms, she compels us to reexamine our place within the natural world. Her work is a poignant reminder that we are not separate from the environment, but rather integral parts of a complex and interdependent ecosystem.
I find interest in capturing the connections we all share in the natural world around us. Driven by contemporary environmental issues and inspired by art history, I want to illuminate the stories of today, while continuing a visual language of the past. Showing that we are all linked through land and time, dependent on each other for the long-term health of our planet.
