These methods often have strikingly realistic results, fooling the eye into believing it is beholding wood, stone, metal, or clay—not glass. Despite this skill, Morris has said “I’m not interested in replicating anything, it’s more the impression of things, of textures, colors, something that has survived for centuries in severe and remote locations. You cannot delineate that literally, but intuitively, viscerally.” He has also said “an object tells a story, whether it is found or fashioned. It tells the story of its origin, its process, and illuminates us to something outside ourselves. I’m not trying to be too specific about a particular story—it’s more a feeling, an impression, a reverence, a narrative.”
