Jonathan Morris has always had a fascination with shapes. In fact, exploring shapes and using them to map his surroundings brought him to the attention of John Warwicker (Tomato), who nominated him for Creative Futures in Creative Review Magazine.

Since then, his visual explorations using digital technology have brought him international recognition. Microsea, his surreal world of digital microscopic forms, won a prestigious competition run by Japanese design magazine Shift. The project went on to form the basis of his first one-man show of digital art, Blend, at the CBAT Gallery in Cardiff.

Jonathan’s experimentation with all things digital also generated his other on-going project, Error Recovery. As the name suggests, Error Recovery is a series of surface patterns celebrating the unexpected corruption of information and images that computers can create. When recovering lost data, it is impossible to predict what might happen visually, and that is exactly what intrigues Morris.

Creatively driven by his personal work, Jonathan’s self initiated projects provide the freedom to explore new techniques, which in turn fuel his commercial design studio.

Jonathan graduated from Newport Art College in 1996 with a first class degree and has also lectured in Design & Typography at the University of Melbourne and University of East London.
