About

Aspen Morris is an undergraduate student of photography at Union College (‘25). Her work is primarily composed of self-portraiture, rephotography, and photographic sculpture. She often destroys or radically changes previous work to establish a new vantage on familiar material. These techniques generate a separate self, allowing for the sublimation of self-destructive impulse into dispossessed violence against a photo-body.

She is interested in the long-held power differential between artist and subject. She considers her practice to be a re-staging of that conflict onto herself, and engages with the dual catharsis of domination and submission within one body. These roles play out at the intersections of sex, kink, violence, trans-femininity, and the voyeurism of the photographic eye.
