Texture Shots: A Quiet Exile
Rhys Morgan
A Quiet Exile was created by artist Rhys Morgan for From the Field, a series of online commissions devised as a response to the worldwide pandemic in 2020. His commision manifested as a webpage of evolving text, video and still imagery that exposes the slow, steady, diaristic nature of the domestic everyday that has been intensified and refocused through the parameters of lockdown.

FROM THE FIELD ANTHOLOGY
Each artist also produced a small physical edition to sit alongside their digital work. These art objects were brought together to make up the From the Field anthology; a compilation of reflections and creations instigated by the global pandemic. Some of the editions are still available to purchase directly from us via our online store Field Notes Editions or from The Shoppery in Penryn. 50% of the purchase price goes straight to the artist and any remaining profit towards a fund for future commissions.
Rhys’ work for From the Field initially manifested as an web page of evolving text, video and still imagery that exposed the slow, steady, diaristic nature of the domestic everyday that was intensified and refocused through the parameters of lockdown, he then produced a version of the work as a special edition newspaper for the anthology.

FUNDERS AND PARTNERS
From the Field was a programme of artist commissions produced by Field Notes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of 2020 from the first lockdown onwards, ten artists were commissioned to create something quick and reflective to be shared online. We had worked with nearly all of the artists prior and therefore chose to reach out to them as a barometer for the times. Each artist also produced a small physical edition to sit alongside their digital work.
From the Field was made possible by a grant from the Arts Council England Emergency Fund.
