Lou Fancher has reviewed the exhibition Requiem: The Remains of the Day, August 4, 2021, currently on view at the Richmond Art Center, in the East Bay Express. Fancher’s article “Through the Fire” can be read online at https://eastbayexpress.com/through-the-fire.
Fancher writes, “In the stark perspectives and landscapes rendered in full color rather than her signature black-and-white style, Morgan avoids melodrama but manages to create an intensely dramatic vibe that is dignified, respectful, egalitarian, even elegant. Unexpectedly, there is a haunting, eery and quiet beauty to the portrayals. The charred buildings, streets, homesteads and public spaces are entirely devoid of people but resonate with the full tragedy of human lives that have been cast into disarray and a community devastated by wildfire.”
