About the Item

"The Wages Of Doing Everything Correctly Is Also Death" is an original piece by Jedediah Morfit made from fiberglass reinforced plaster and paint. This piece measures 26.25”h x 23”w x 2.75”d and comes with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity. The artist’s increasingly spontaneous approach to modeling, color, and material can be seen through the inclusion of standout pieces from earlier collections. Each of the featured works takes command of the room through their surprising form, saturated color, and sardonic humor, and provide further perspective on the lines of inquiry that characterize Morfit’s newest series. Jedediah Morfit received his MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2005, where he was awarded the Sylvia Leslie Herman Young Scholarship and the Award Of Excellence. He was a Fellow at the Center For Emerging Visual Artists from 2007-2009, and received a New Jersey Council On the Arts Fellowship for sculpture in 2009. He received the Louise Kahn Award for Sculpture from the Woodmere Art Museum in 2006, and was awarded the Dexter Jones Award for Bas Relief from the National Sculpture Society in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he was commissioned to create a series of new work for Artlantic:Wonder, which was named one of the 50 best public art projects in the Public Art Network’s Year in Review. His work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions, and featured in The New York Times, Sculpture Review, Artnews and American Craft Magazine, as well as on NJTV’s State Of the Arts. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and three (count ‘em, three) children.
