Cy Morgan is an artist engaged in the process of making transient objects.
Morgan’s materials are often salvaged, frequently from parking lots and roadsides, and combined with art materials, to be stacked, leaned, changed, and combined into sculptures of various sizes from handheld to monumental. Morgan is interested in using these materials as “expressive tools,” describing them as “not all that different from painting and drawing.” Working from an ever-growing collection, artworks are disassembled, and their fragments recombined, resisting reproduction, exchange, archive, and the notion of permanence.
