Capturing the Reverie
I wrote an article about Ryan McGinley which is available to read in Issue 2 of TWELV magazine.
The following is the opening paragraph to Capturing the Reverie:
The following is the opening paragraph to Capturing the Reverie:
Standing before the images created by Ryan McGinley, one
becomes entranced by the irresistible visions of freedom and joyous
irreverence. As we gaze upon these captured glimpses of nubile and ecstatic
lives, the pace and perception of our own reality becomes, perhaps equally
momentarily, transformed. It is as though we are inhabiting a dream, reliving a
memory or visually absorbing a wish. There is ample room for us to imbue the
imagery with our own imagination and narrative, and our mind wanderings encourage
us to indulge in the ebullience of youth, whether that is the youth we have
lived, recognize or are yet to comprehend. But regardless of our own position
in time, the experience of witnessing a life in the present is persuasively
clear.

About Me
- Lisa Z. Morgan alias The Pink Investigator a.k.a Pink
- Lisa Z. Morgan is an artist, designer and writer. The subject and object of desire has been a palpable constant within her artistic expression both as a motivation and in its embodiment or articulation. Through her creativity and research Morgan examines how the value of provenance, of rarity and storytelling, puts into question or provokes our understanding and relationship towards desire and the desire impulse. Her focus has been how we may access, stimulate and touch the internal points of registration or the emotional dynamics of bodily perception. In essence she attempts to define and make manifest the feeling of feeling. Her work inhabits a space where art, semiotics, design and fashion intersect. Morgan is the Co-Founder of STRUMPET & PINK and the Co-Founder of The Lavender Hinge. She is the author and creative editor of Design Behind Desire and also a contributor to SHOWstudio and The Laboratory Arts Collective.
