Biography

I’m Morgan B. Fields, I was born in Omaha, NE. I attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha, as a Susan T. Buffet Scholar, I graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture, Printmaking & Graphic Design with a minor in Art History in May 2021. I currently reside in The Black Hills, living and work in Hot Springs, SD.

I construct work that references memories of my past. I am interested in expressing discomfort, individualism, death and rebirth. Using romanticism and black humor, I hope to establish a better understanding of myself.

Feminism guides my work. As a woman who has dealt with life-long manipulation and abuse, the sanctity of sisterhood offers hope and courage. I continue to make progress in my work and my own mental health struggles. Through a labor intensive process of combining sculpture and abstraction, I analyze the experiences of humanity, emphasizing the feminine drama, and highlighting the hardships of life and death. 

My current body of work consists of post-minimalist sculptures made of woven barbed wire with the integration of fabric, and a series of photopolymer intaglio prints, a process of contemporary digital art meeting traditional etching. I explore the complete loss of subjective self-identity and grief by abstracting the demise of the ego within each piece.
