Imogen Morris Lips Wall Art

Art by Imogen Morris

“Lips”, 2022.

Artist’s note: “As a portraiture artist I am fascinated by facial features – when zoomed in on a facial feature, what can that feature tell you about the person it belongs to? Their emotions or character? In recent works I have moved away from depicting full faces and instead I focus on specific facial features, mainly lips and eyes, as I believe these two features tell you the most about the person in which they inhabit. I have created the lips themselves out of nail and thread, using white, grey and black thread to create depth. The image is created on a circular board mounted in a box frame.”
