Morgan Ritter is an artist, poet, and new mother. Mo’s work is playfully generated from hypnagogic states, where object, action, sensation, and language move freely. Guided by a dream logic, her practice spans drawing, sculpture, text, HTML webpages, and textiles. She values the peripheral—that which resists conventional legibility—while registering personal and cultural realities. Her work has been exhibited at Noon Projects (LA), Artists Space (NY), Shanaynay (Paris), PICA, The Whitney Biennial 2017 (NY), a light bulb store, an orchard, MoMA (NY), and many other conventional and less conventional venues for experiencing art. She is the recipient of grants from Oregon Arts Commission and Foundation for Contemporary Art, among others. Ritter has attended several residencies including Anderson Ranch and Ken Kesey’s Farm. She is the Co-Director of House of Art and Craft, and on the Art Collection Committee at the Oregon Jewish Museum. Her work has been featured in Art Forum, Art Practical, Art Viewer, e-flux, W Magazine & Vice.
