But while she is attracted by space, she is afraid of time: she tries to master it, to transform it into a space which can be organized, divided, classified, measured, like a house or a field, so that each moment is in its right place. Colors must create a heartening impression, reassuring her that time is under control.

Last century's Europe had deep confidence in time, future, history, and was afraid of space which was divided by frontiers and wars. Morgan, like most people who will spend half their lives during the next century, has no confidence in the future and its false promises. She values change more than she values "progress." She looks at herself in time as in water she tries to stop with her hands. Conversely, she loves to stretch her body over the planet, her arms reaching far away continents over the Pacific Ocean.

Morgan is not an artist in the usual sense of the word. Since art no longer seeks merely to represent, she is more interested in presenting not the soul, the essence of a personality, but the set of actions which construct rather than represent a person. She is an artist of actions and of ideas, of relation to others more than of self expression, of desire more than possession, of absence more than presence. continue >>
