Description
Although Morgan began working on Suite #2 with a general idea of the outcome, each composition is largely the product of intuitive decisions. The prints were made at Highpoint Editions, a printmaking workshop in Minneapolis where Morgan found that "working in the environment of a print studio and having access to a Master Printer and print assistants allowed me to bounce ideas around . . . and make known my thoughts no matter how wacky." A free-flowing approach may seem risky, but Morgan found it thoroughly rewarding: "My artistic actions and choices are based on conceptual assumptions, which remained best slippery, elusive, and forever mutable," he said. "Despite everything, out of this mode of working come moments of absolute clarity and sublimity."- {{cite web|title=Suite #2: Faithful Manipulation|url=false|author=Clarence Morgan|year=2005|access-date=19 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
