ERIN MORRISON is an intimate, short-form monograph about the Los Angeles-based artist Erin Morrison's iconography and process. Published by the Contemporary Art Digest, the book features an interview with Morrison, over twenty full-color plates of artworks, and a critical essay entitled "Smoke in Eye" by writer and artist Serena Caffrey.Morrison's work evokes a spiritscape in which smoking palms and evil eyes act as talismans of the state-sanctioned climate crisis and gendered violence of our era. Snakes slither away out of the frame, and obfuscating smoke offers no answers to eyes seeking the divine. Both the being-body and the body seen, her stark vulva reliefs depict hairless, colorless genitals in a vast, empty plane. Caffrey probes at the questions embedded in the work: precarious reckonings with the (g/)rendering of these sex organs in pornography, the cosmic potentiality of reproductive power, and the deep-seated grief of lost opportunity.
