Morgan Ton (2000, NL) is the artist behind grotkind.com; a website and portfolio of all her creative endeavors.
Combining her curiosities in film, photography, sculpture, painting and installations, Morgan makes her work her own from A to Z, often offering a highly personal insight to her internal world.
Her multidisciplinairy approach to her ideas offers the viewer a surprising and sometimes confusing depiction of reality.
Morgan is pleased by this, as it highlights her own confusion, alienation and search for all that seems sincere.
Since her graduation from her BA in Fine Arts in 2021, Morgan has been working as a professional visual artist and as an art teacher in Asylum Seeking Centers and museums, located in The Netherlands.
