Hope Morrison is an artist located in Brooklyn, NY. Utilizing multiple processes, she explores the edge between daydream and reality through the mundane. Recently, monoprinting has become a pillar for her multidisciplinary exploration. The series of works takes collection as content seen between two places. The images and found objects used create slightly objective works that precede a storyline. The story split apart, screwed, ripped and pixelated becomes a respite of further action. Throughout the work, she finds herself ruminating over and over again, with almost no relief. An obsession.

In her Artbook, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE (2022), Morrison explores these ideas using found paper objects left inside thrift store books as an additive to her monoprints. Pairing humanistic objects such as boarding passes, photographs, court papers, homework assignments and love letters with her prints, a story can be put together through items. The monoprints are primarily from found magazines and advertisements, where Morrison finds ritualistic relief from tearing away and copying them using a gelatin plate. 

Succeeding SOMEONE SOMEWHERE (2022), she formulated a style that was used on larger pieces. These larger paper works such as, BROTHER and SISTER (2023) use monoprinted images and small geometric gouache paintings to invoke a pause of simplistic beauty towards the act of a sibling dynamic. The works are hung using sewing needles, with one of them threaded, assuming the act of sewing a narrative together.
