Perpetual Motion Show

I'm very happy to say that my new series, "Perpetual Motion", is in it's first gallery show. I'm being shown at The Metropolitan Art Gallery's Grand Opening show on October 4th. Currently, there are 6 original Numberism pencil drawings in the series as well as a limited run of color prints.

For their grand opening, they've invited a variety of artists, whose artwork ranges from wooden and metal sculptures to Abstract paintings and Computer Altered prints on canvas.



Maynard Breese, who I met at the last First Friday, introduced me to the gallery and is showing there as well, with quite a few new pieces.


This is the very first opening for the gallery, who usually uses the warehouse space for Home and Garden shows. They've been marketing this event with commercials, magazine advertising and adverts sent to homes of thousands of Arizonian homes. As their first show, and my first official showing of this series, I'm interested to see how it will all work out.

The Gallery is located at:
1710 East Washington Street
Phoenix, AZ 85034
602-712-1200

Gallery Hours:
October 4th and 5th
Saturday: 10am - 4pm
Sunday: 12pm - 6pm


Email me at Sienna.Morris@Gmail.com for directions, etc, and to let me know if you're coming.

Perpetual Motion Series


For the past month, I've been working on my newest series, Perpetual Motion, and until tonight, I haven't shown it to anyone outside my family. In this series I use a technique I've never seen before, which I am calling "Numbersim". Each drawing in the series is entirely drawn using only the numbers 1 -12, marking the hours of the clock. There are no lines or smudging involved: all lines and gradients are created with these numbers.

The theme of this series is time, and the importance of the present.

Tonight, I showed 5 pieces from this new series in the yard at Red Dog. The feedback I received was great. People were interested in the technique, the drawings themselves, and even the artist statement. A few people have asked me for copies of the artist statement, and so I've put it up online. Anyone who'd like to see the statement, Click Here

I've been excited about this series regardless, but it was great to bounce this off of the general public. It's reinforced my feeling that I'm on the right track here.

I will be shopping these around to galleries, and I plan to run this series for a year.
