Opening Reception | History Lession: Photography and More by Ike Morgan


Ike Morgan (b. 1958) is a self-taught artist from Austin, Texas who spends almost every waking moment more creating. He began his artistic career while being treated for schizophrenia as a long-term patient at the Austin State Hospital, where he created thousands of haunting works using found materials, cardboard, and paper. As he often says, painting and drawing “ help to pass the time away.” Morgan routinely sources subject matter from found printed materials and photography. Early on at the hospital, he found a book of United States Presidents which informed the core of his output. Additionally, he produces surreal interpretations of the Mona Lisa, stylized depictions of Santa Claus and religious icons, erotic works based on Playboy and Penthouse centerfolds, and colorful works based on nature books and Dr. Seuss stories. less

Spiller has taken things a step further, assembling a collection of close to a thousand different scissors representing a wide range of design, innovative function, and style. Collection highlights include a five-foot tall pair of hand-carved wooden scissors, four-bladed Korean kitchen shears (with cleaning brush), dozens of miniature and anthropomorphic scissors, and bronze seed-cracking scissors, the only pair that opens from the top. This month, our Gallery Annex hosts a sampling of items from the archive as part of our month-long partnership with Outsider Art Fair. less
