C E MORSE
Farrago Series

I hunt for wild art; looking for patterns, color, texture & composition in subjects both man-made and natural. Embellished by chance and patinated by nature, I see beauty and inspiration in found objects with unspoken histories of random events that can only be guessed or imagined. Without reference to scale, the abstract details coax a personal interpretation contingent upon the viewer’s imagination.

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Henry David Thoreau

the Farrago Series takes the images a step further: layering abstract details of found objects: combining rusty car fenders with boat hulls; dumpsters with broken glass, etc. to create abstract images from an improbable fusion of actual objects.

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." - Edgar Degas
