Room of Time by Simon Morris

Room of Time by Simon Morris

Simon Morris’ Room of Time documents an artwork that was made by Morris over a ten day period between 19-29 September 2022 in the Hancock Gallery of City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi. It is part of Morris' ongoing exploration into the occupation of space through time-based abstract painting. 

This is the fourth ‘wall work’ Morris has made at City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi. Each brushstroke extends what has become a sustained encounter with these spaces that stretches back over twenty-five years, but meets us in the direct experience of a painting encountered in the here and now.

Simon Morris is a practicing artist and Associate Professor at School of Art Whiti o Rehua Massey University, Wellington. Morris' artwork encourages a direct experience of time in an accelerated, technology-driven world.
