Artwork Size: 20" x 20" Frame Size: 25 5/8" x 25 5/8" Artist Statement: "I cannot remember a time when I wasn't drawing or creating. It's a daily practice and necessity for me. Due to crippling agoraphobia, I left college, so everything I've done is either self-taught or learned on the job. I spent 45 years in corporate America as a commercial artist all the while pursuing my own personal visions, some of which you'll see here. I have always been fascinated by the human state - the odd duality of being both physical and ephemeral simultaneously. This is my core inspiration and obsession. Since high school most of my work has been done with pencil. Now in my mid-60's I'm experimenting with collage, video and other media."

    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    VoIce of Treason 12 x 12inches Collage on Paper Exhibition History: THE COLLAGE SHOW Morgan Jesse Lappin is a collage artist and curator based in Brooklyn. He seeks to explore the boundaries of collage, identify artists pushing the medium forward, and inspire others along the way. In 2013, he founded the Brooklyn Collage Collective, which consists of four core members: Morgan Jesse Lappin, Jessie Laura, Joseph Karwacki, and Michele Luger.
