They form part of her wider practice, along with paintings and taxidermy-based sculptures where the animal’s movement is frozen in time in geometric compositions that often evoke nature. ![]() Now she has an exhibition, ‘As I Live and Breathe’, at the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London. Morgan’s large-scale drawings of foxes, which clinched her the Guerlain Drawing Prize, combine figuration and abstraction and are revealing of her preoccupation with animality and mortality. Her three haunting drawings of foxes were exhibited at the Salon du Dessin held at Palais Brongniart, 27 March-1 April 2019, alongside works by the other two nominated artists: France’s Jérôme Zonder and Friedrich Kunath from Germany, who each took home €5,000. ![]() The Northern Irish artist Claire Morgan won the 12th edition of the Drawing Prize of the Daniel and Florence Guerlain Contemporary Art Foundation, worth €15,000, earlier this year. ![]()
