Robert Morris — felt, copper grommets
Robert Morris

felt, copper grommets

A cascading arrangement of industrial gray felt hangs in loose, drooping folds, its raw edges and heavy fabric creating an improvisational sculptural form. Copper grommets punctuate the material, serving as both functional fasteners and subtle metallic accents against the soft textile. The work embodies Morris's exploration of process art and anti-form, allowing gravity and the inherent properties of the material to determine the final composition.
