Blessed Are the Menopausal for They Shall Inherit the Earth Copper, glass,
enamel, mixed media, 18"x14"x4", $1,600.00
Inspired by the mysteries of life, Morgan Brig’s copper and enamel
works are both playful and contemplative. Her three dimensional wall sculptures
are typically conceived in words by the writings in her journal. There, she
explores human nature and the inner dialogue of individual character. Brig then
expresses these ideas through symbols, icons, and even written text embedded
onto her surfaces. The labor intensive method of torching glass enamel and
hand-hammering copper sheets reveals her love of the process and suggests her
curiosity for the evolution of materials. Repeating images of birds, palm trees
and figures have both archaic references and express personal narrative. Brig is
profoundly captivated by concepts of alchemy, and the ways in which science,
math, and the unknown can reflect beauty.
