My work is a reinterpretation of the physical push and pull that the contemporary American landscape continuously endures. Areas of constant construction and development at the periphery of communities, where architecture generically generates, can be directly related to my work. I deal with the monumental forms that develop and the materials, elements, and substructures used to build them. I reiterate the repetitious, pedestrian articles I find every day and coalesce them into a massive, abstracted fusion of what exists. Within these spaces I create there is no hierarchy to the forms as they are magnetized toward each other and amass in a new suggested place. It is not my goal to create a new landscape, but to illuminate our desensitization to the environment—that we unconsciously travel through our surroundings in a blur of forms and colors.

Sean P. Morrissey was born and raised in eastern Ohio. He likes riding his bike and being organized. Sean received his BFA in printmaking from Bowling Green State University and is currently in the MFA program at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Sean's current work deals with how we realize and mentally reconfigure the contemporary landscape, concerning: population, construction and repetitive forms. Sean utilizes printmaking techniques, both traditional and non-traditional, and also creates large-scale paperworks on walls. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is included in several permanent and private collections.
