Morrison Polkinghorne

Morrison is a textile designer, specialising in hand-crafted French-style trimmings, braids and tassels. He is an authority on hand-loom weaving techniques.

Morrison lived in Cambodia for almost a decade where his artist life began. His grey and black toned paintings are made with lotus stems and artisanal ink, which he distills from petals. His work uses this sacred flower as both theme and application. It is the perfect imagery for Cambodia, as it symbolizes the Lord Buddha’s spiritual awakening, emerging from the muddy dark depths into light and becoming a flash of beauty.
