about

My name is Morgan (otherwise known as Mo), and I am a Pittsburgh-born-and-raised artist making, learning, and teaching through sculpture. I attended Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) School of Art (2026), where I received a BFA with a concentration in Sculpture, Installation, and Site Work. I am currently based in Saugatuck, Michigan, where I work at Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency. In the off-season, I work as a teaching artist with Arts Greenhouse, a CMU-based non-profit providing experiential arts and humanities educational programming to underresourced middle schools in Pittsburgh.

I have had a relentless and profound love of objects since before I can remember: biting and chewing things that ought not go in one’s mouth, creating perfectly curated stuffed animal nests each night before bedtime, and collecting miscellaneous mushy things in my special, buttery-yellow box. My behaviors and relationships with the tangible world—whether manufactured or naturally occurring creatures and things—have been a foundational aspect of how I navigate this often upending life.

Using subtractive and additive alternative craft processes, such as wood and foam carving, polymer clay, and silicone, I digest and reassemble my internal processing of the confusing, absurd, and impalpable into literal beings to be shared and mused upon. Most of the art objects I make are encouraged to be physically touched or otherwise interacted with, creating possibilities for people to experience the momentary groundedness that objects often give me.
