Naranjo Morse works in several mediums, including organic materials. The ephemeral installation “Always Becoming,” made of clays, packed earth, wood and stone, can be seen at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. A feature-length documentary focuses on the making of the five “Always Becoming” sculptures and the themes of land and community behind the installation concept.
Naranjo Morse’s work has exhibited nationally and internationally at numerous museums. She continues to explore issues of environment, culture, and the social practice of making art with community.
