Arielle Morris

Arielle Morris has been a teacher at TBSSS since 2019. Arielle teaches the Thursday EVE Workshop.

Arielle is a figurative sculptor whose practice centres on the human form, its gestures, tensions and emotional undercurrents. She works mainly in clay and plaster, with occasional ventures into resin and glass. Her forms sit somewhere between the intimate and the archetypal. In 2018 she was a finalist in the Tom Bass Prize for Figurative Sculpture, and she has exhibited regularly at Clara Street Gallery.

From 2021 to 2024 Arielle co-curated Clara Street Gallery with Monika Scarrabelotti and helped shape the rhythm and evolving conversations of this small exhibition space within the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio.

Arielle began her creative path in photography and later completed a BFA at the National Art School and an MFA at Sydney College of the Arts. She also holds a Diploma in Art Therapy and works professionally as a florist. These practices echo through her sculpture in their shared attention to form, atmosphere and the expressive possibilities of materials.
