Born in South Central Los Angeles, Christopher Bryce Morris grew up with a passion for drawing and painting.  Drawn to the works of old masters, especially those of Peter Paul Rubens and Caravaggio, their works fueled his love for depicting shadows and flesh.

After an early education in the city’s magnet schools, he attended Otis College of Art & Design. While there Christopher was chosen to be a part of a student group representing the institution in an exhibit entitled “MAKING” at the LA County Museum of Art and won the Jury Prize for his video “The Loneliest Boy in The World” during its 2002 senior show.  Shortly after graduating with a BFA in Painting, he was honored to have that same video shown at Hollywood’s historically significant Egyptian Theater.

After a brief stint working under the critically-acclaimed multimedia artist Doug Aitken, Christopher moved to Seattle.

In 2010 along with four other artists, he founded Second Saturday The Central District’s FIRST-EVER Art Walk series.  The goal of this monthly event is to support local artists and businesses by bringing people into the Central District to discover and the artistry hidden in this historic area of Seattle.  Now in its second year the event continues to grow, it has been covered in the Seattle Times and now counts Garfield Community Center and several Central Area businesses as partners.

Doubt Us Manifesto

WE DOUBT. WE are the children of doubt, born into a sea of uncertainty

WE understand that to live in this time, we must question everything.

WE MUST scrutinize all we see, we’re told. Not the least of all, our thoughts, our feelings and motives.

Creation is a question, a conversation of questions.

A dialogue which begins with the phrase, “Can I…?”

NO CONCLUSIONS ARE MADE, only objects, only image, only verse…

Answers are often the enemy, the dead end of what we are striving for, a hoary and stale alleyway leading

off the path to the garden.

WE are a rising tide of ambiguity, a vague wave, awash in probing queries.

WE KNOW to question the answers, and that TO QUESTION is the answer.

Our craft is doubt. We doubt the craft.

Doubt fuels us and leads us to famine.

Doubt is the equation and the result

Doubt everything.
