About Charles Morrison

Charles Morrison is a multi-disciplinary artist originally from the Chicago area. Receiving his Bachelors in sociology From Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana in 2017, Charles first started working with clay in 2016. He has since exhibited throughout the Midwest in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana until taking an unexpected hiatus from his craft in 2020. Having recently relocated to Tampa in 2023, Charles quickly discovered the Morean Center for Clay and was able to pick up where he left off a few years prior.

Using clay as his primary means of communication, Charles also employs print, paint, and performance to convey his message. Taking great inspiration from the ancient world and indigenous cultures around the planet, he finds himself working to remind us today, of an ancient past. Creating vessels that appear to have been recovered from the bottom of the sea, or unearthed from years of compacted soil and earth beneath our feet, Morrison hopes to spark a deep remembrance in the viewers of his work, reminding them that we’ve been here before.
