Why I'm on MM: I'm seeking new performers and models for my pieces. The ideal models for my work have intense personalities, improvisation skills, professional attitudes, and workability. I'm also seeking new makeup artists and body painters for performances and photo shoots. While I screenprint on the skin of my models, more intense painting would be an incredible asset. Finally, I'm seeking talented and creative photographers to learn from, collaborate with, and invite to my performances.
For more information or to see previous performances, please visit http://www.MorganCulture.com Artist Statement: Morgan Culture is wearable sculpture intended for performance. Models interact with and even touch the audience members, creating strong reactions and discomfort for some while other mesmerized audience members look on. The endocrine system, the nervous system, the visual cortex, and other internal arousal mechanisms manifest outside the body. Veins and bumps cover shiny surfaces. Materials such as hand-printed fabrics, cast paper, branches, printed skin, and undergarments lose individual identity in a mobile visual cacophony. These works are presented in any of the following formats: runway, live performance, 3- D mannequin display, photos, or video projection. Morgan, who received her MFA in 2009 from Washington University in St. Louis, is known as a prolific, collaborative, and entrepreneurial artist. Verified Credits (0)Worked with Morgan Culture?

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT MORGANCULTURE
“…mad as a hatter.” –Judy Pfaff “Gehris is giving form to… biological and social oxymorons….she gives these discoveries tangible form as wearable art, making our standard sexual drives and deviations visible as gleaming accessories, strutting gangions and neurons up on the catwalk…” – Dr. Christopher Parr “…twisting neuronal representations branched out and reminded the viewer that the same brain-stuff is in his or her head, too…. Gehris’ art brings us one step closer to appreciating all brands of sexuality.” -The Vital Voice SELECTED EXHIBITION/PERFORMANCE HISTORY Brancott Estates World of WearableArt; Wellington, New Zealand Olympic Park; Seoul, South Korea Sugar Goes Steampunk; Hollywood, CA Lab AD; Albuquerque, NM Runneth Over; St. Louis, MO Rip the Runway; St. Louis, MO Screening; San Francisco, CA Cirque du Erotica; Granite City, IL Saint Louis Fashion Week Psychosis; Peoria, IL Unicorn Show; Indiana, PA
