MAIDY MORHOUS
VIEW WORKS
Maidy Morhous’ sculptures cannot be taken in with one glance. They expose the viewer to and pull them in to react and question what they are viewing; be it to question life and one’s existence, the world’s plight or just to bring a smile. Morhous has spent years examining social critique, political and cultural issues. The resistance to the oppression of socially inscribed narratives and socially dominating practice presented sublimely to the viewer and open to interpretation. Her new direction is devoid of the human form, which permeated most of her prior sculptures, adding a refreshing twist on commentary.
