Morley’s elaborate embroideries accompany his equally elaborate paintings, which he assembles on lubricated glass and then peels off in skins, applying them to panel. These idiosyncratic processes began as his reaction against the restrictions of traditional Euro-centric painting methods, and are now simply an alternative way of rendering equally alternative narratives. Morley’s materials are as much the content of the work as the original stories from which the paintings were born.
