Morgan’s exploration of life and death, and the importance of memorials and monuments, directly resonates with an advocacy for life. The use of alabaster, a material traditionally associated with monuments and memorials, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility and transience of life. Hand-carved alabaster pieces, which morph and change in their environment, evoke a sense of the inanimate becoming animate. This transformation highlights the cyclical nature of life and death, a theme central to her work and which serves as a reminder for the fragility of mankind and the need for pacifism.

  • Hannah Morgan’s work is sculptural installation. Combining film, audio, sculpture, and text to create material components that consider decay and emergence. Thresholds, unearthing, preservation, trace, and speculation underpin their practice. Morgan creates narratives through sculptural assemblage and text/audio that consider loss and transformative states of being that address the precarity of self, object and the natural world.
