TIPPING POINT
ONLINE EXHIBITION BY L. SCOOTER MORRIS
ARTIST STATEMENT
In this moment, at this extraordinary time, we are witness to the making of historical events. The Quote by Theodore Parker: “The Arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” My work on this series of paintings initially began in 2015, when I began to notice the rising tide of social injustice and unrest. It is now exhibited in almost every city around the world. People are working together to make changes in social justice, prison reform, gender equality and racial division.
As an artist, I hope to use my voice to make some small contribution to change for the better. The flag paintings are a reflection of our need to find resolution.
We the people, are the many, bound by love of country, hardened by the struggle, softened by the love, made determined by the need, and resolved to make our place in these United States. We the people are called upon as one of the many to join together with others though we are of different faiths and color and gender, we must find ourselves joined as one of the many ,part of the whole, working together with tolerance, wisdom and hope to make our shared differences work for a united purpose. The painting, “Called to Action”, is a continuation of that theme.
