Morris is an originator of the Massurrealist Art movement, an art form rooted in the interplay between mass media, pop art, contemporary culture and Surrealist imagery. The term was coined by artist, James Seehafer.
This movement combines visual icons from the outer world (what we call reality) and the inner world (the surreal, the venue of the subconscious), including the big mass/weight we feel and attribute to our emotions, thoughts and dreams.
