The London-based artist was born in 1978 and studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris between 1997 and 2001 under Giuseppe Penonne.

Sculpted in plaster, and occasionally cast in bronze, the forms are painted with hand-sourced, raw pigments in vivid hues such as Ultramarine, Viridian and Ochre, which give the surface an opaque, lumpen quality. Morris’s drawing and tapestry combine personal ciphers with abstract mark-making and grid-like structures.
