Meet Harry Morgan
Harry Morgan, a Manchester-based emerging artist, has gained international recognition since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 2014. His work, exhibited widely and held in prestigious collections like the Victoria & Albert Museum, reimagines ancient crafts of glassblowing and concrete casting.
Harry's artistic approach combines intuition, geometry, and material expression, challenging physical and cultural connotations of his chosen materials. He focuses on the interaction of opposites: transparent and opaque, mass and void, robust and fragile. Through contrast, he aims to highlight materials' true qualities, creating harmony and balance.
His glasswork draws inspiration from the ancient Venetian 'murrine' technique, where glass threads are individually pulled from a furnace. This method, originating in ancient Rome, was revived in 16th-century Murano, exemplifying Harry's blend of historical craft and contemporary art.
