OUR HEROES Comic Art series takes inspiration from the Pop Art of the sixties. The source of Morris' heroes is from comic books. The uniformly undulating surface of gentle peaks and curves in the folds of the comic book pages captures the viewer with a story as it unfolds. From a distance the viewer sees only the interplay of colors and texture. However, as the viewer is drawn closer the super heroes of the comic book fly, struggle, and climb in small fragments and vignettes. Word bubbles from the comic book text are clearly visible throughout the pieces, allowing the viewer to read the dialog of the action heroes.
