Biography
Louise Ward Morris MRSS is an award-winning British sculptor specialising in New Media. Her practice combines diverse interests in technology, architecture, psychology, and science to create sculptures that examine the parameters of our perception through technology.
As a self-defined media archaeologist, Louise disrupts quotidian technology to critique digital culture and technological development from a feminist perspective. She uses everyday digital devices such as mobile phones, computers, and TVs as an expanded repertoire of sculptural materials to challenge common beliefs about technology. At the centre of her practice is a sustained inquiry into how technology makes us human.
Born in London, Louise lives and works in Barcelona. She is currently artist-in-residence at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Chemistry and Biology in A Coruña (ESP) and will be artist-in-residence at the TU Braunschweig Nitride Technology Centre (DE) in 2026.
A member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (UK), Louise's work has been recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Culture’s La Tabacalera Grant 2025, the 2024 Ramon Llull Institute & Fabra i Coats Mentorship Programme, the 2023 Royal Society of Sculptors’ Gilbert Bayes Award, Arts Council England DYCP Grant 2023, the 2022 Clifford Chance UAL Award for Sculpture, and the 2019 South Square Trust Scholarship, among others. She holds an MFA from Central Saint Martins, London, and has exhibited internationally at institutions including Saatchi Gallery (UK), Tate Modern (UK), the Royal Society of Sculptors (UK), Manifesta 15+ (ESP), London Short Film Festival, the Royal College of Nursing (UK), LUX Moving Image (UK), Fabra i Coats (ESP), Common Room Shanghai (CN), and Casa RARO (ESP).
