"Can we ever truly ESCAPE?"

Statement:
J. Morrison proposes an escape from city life, and asks the question, "Is New York a prison?" Desiring to create a retreat from the norm, the artist invites your presence to accompany him on a new exploration. Continuing thematically with the series, this work introduces new elements to form a site-specific story. Theatrical, provocative, and mysterious, the work pays homage to the likes of Sleep No More, David Lynch's the Black Lodge, and John Carpenter's film of the same title. Incorporating themes of fantasy vs reality, removal and escapism, lightness and darkness, loss and hope, the artist creates an interactive journey towards escapism.
