Inspired by a range of art forms from different eras, including botanical illustrations, etchings, woodblock prints, landscape paintings, Pop art, wallpaper design, and cartoons, Paul Morrison digitally manipulates found plant imagery. His flat, highly stylized, black-and-white landscapes retain a representational aspect despite their various planes and perspectives. Morrison’s titles derive from the botanical glossary; a rhizophore, for example, is an outgrowth from the stem of some club mosses that forms roots at the soil surface.
