Heather & Ivan Morison

Postcard (new commission for Margate Rocks 08)

The work of Heather & Ivan Morison engages and responds to their surroundings. They survey, record and collect to rebuild and re-present the often familiar, investing their observations and discoveries with vigorous fascination. They have a wood in North Wales, where they live and work, which they are developing into an arboretum - a collection of trees gathered from around the world.

Heather & Ivan Morison are producing and mailing a printed card to 1,000 residents of Margate.

They will discuss the role of art and the artist in relation to the challenges contemporary society faces today, in the context of their work, and examine the unique position artists and art have in addressing ecological and social concerns.
