Morrison lives and works in Sheffield. He is best known for his large monochromatic botanical landscapes.[3][4]Phytochrome is typical of this aspect of the artist's work.


All his images are painted in two coats of acrylic paint. They are then scanned into a computer, manipulated and projected onto the canvas. The different elements tend to be disproportionate in size: tiny plants become huge, while massive trees shrink. This is called 'cognitive landscape'.
