Morin Artist's Statement: While much of my work earlier in my career focussed on the figure as a means of interpreting and defining space, mass, volume and the like, I have found that in more recent years I am more interested in architecture and its relationship to the figure. Combining these two more formal investigations along with my 1995 conversion to Christianity, the most current work (within the past seven years) establishes itself, at least from my perspective, as that which attends to the body, mind, and soul. The body being of course, the figure, the mind being an architectural metaphor, and the soul as being the inspired word of God, from which most of my latest work is extrapolated. |

I have held my current position as Sculpture Program Head at Bowling Green State University for the past twelve years and have been a highly productive sculptor for more than fifteen years. My work has been extensively exhibited throughout the country from New Hampshire to Minnesota and Ohio to Florida. Evidence as to the quality of my work is easily demonstrated by solo exhibitions at established galleries, as well as participation in competitive shows being juried by such prominent figures as Ivan Karp, Director, O.K. Harris, New York, Chicago's own, Richard Hunt, Michael Dunbar, Co-curator of the Navy Pier Show, Chicago, Paul J. Smith, Director Emeritus, American Craft Museum, New York, and Brooke Barrie, Director, Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton. New Jersey. Presently I am working with several commercial galleries around the country and my work can currently be seen in Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Alabama. Education: 1986 M.F.A.
