Specialist note

In Alastair Morton's carefully considered compositions, lines and geometric shapes are strategically juxtaposed in a celebration of colour and form. Lesley Jackson writes, 'They conjure up the dualities of life: attraction and repulsion, isolation and entanglement, harmony and confusion, energy and frustration.' L. Jackson, Alastair Morton and the Edinburgh Weavers: visionary textiles and modern art, London, 2012, p. 113).
