About Morgan Jones
Born in Surrey, England in 1924, Morgan Jones arrived in New Zealand in 1955. After working at a variety of jobs he trained as a teacher in Christchurch, and while teaching began crating sculptures from wood. He held his first exhibition at the Dunedin Art Gallery in 1964. In 1975 he was awarded New Zealand’s top prize for sculpture, the Hansells Sculpture Award but it wasn’t until 1990 after a one-year artist-in-residency at the Dunedin School of Art in 2019 that he became a full time sculptor. In 2019 he won Australia’s most prestigious award for the art form, the Aqualand Sculpture Award.
