The material and emotional labor that goes into sustaining community is the gravitational center of my work. From this core I create photos, experimental films and installations that invite the audience into the intimacy I encounter with others. These images prioritize connection over detached observation.
Ame Morrison is a multimedia and social practice artist whose work explores the construction of belonging through the lens of queerness and embodied trans experience. Recent projects meld portraiture and community organizing in an effort to create playful and collaborative photography spaces. Their work has been shown at several galleries in the Pacific Northwest and at the Millenium Film Workshop in Brooklyn, NY. They will receive a BFA in Art Practice with a Minor in Film Studies from the Portland State Honors College in June.
