have already produced.

From childhood memories to celluloid dreams,
from monsters and Mai Tais to cryptozoology,
from forgotten time chords in dusty places
to unknown realms hiding in space,
Jonathan Morrill creates work born out of
intense concentration and effortless thoughtlessness.

These works are threaded and infused with colors
that change upon the luminance they're given,
which make them appear different to every eye..
