Life Change• Morrison was diagnosed
and treated for breast cancer in 2008
• A notable shift in her subject matter and palette (color choices) was evident as a result of this life changing experience.
• Her work became a visual celebration of life based on her therapy – mainly sweet treats and comfort food

•Scale: objects appear smaller as they get farther away•Placement: objects placed lower in the picture plane appear closer•Overlapping: objects in front are closer than objects behind•Detail: objects closer to the viewer have more detail•Color Saturation: close = color is brighter/more intense far away = color is dull/less intense
