Born in 1978 in London, United Kingdom, Annie Morris is a British artist working in tapestry, painting, and drawing. She is best known for her gravity-defying, personally totemic Stack sculptures—vibrantly pigmented, irregular orbs stacked in delicate balance, symbolizing both the miracle and fragility of life. Made from plaster and cast bronze, these precarious forms emerged during her grieving process after a miscarriage.
Beyond Stacks, Morris explores the female body through abstract paintings, figural sculptures, and tapestry-like drawings. Her Face series embodies varied ways of inhabiting femininity.
Morris studied at École des Beaux-Arts, Paris (1997–2001) under Giuseppe Penone before completing her degree at the Slade School of Fine Art, London (2003). She had her first museum solo show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2021, followed by a commission for Hepworth Wakefield in 2023 and a survey show, Hope from a Thin Line, at Fosun Foundation, Shanghai, in 2024.
