Briony Morrow-Cribbs creates finely detailed, aquatint etchings; illustrated and hand-bound small-edition books; sculpture; and mixed-media installations. She combines these arts in her current series which includes porcelain sculptural images of creatures and chimera from her imaginative fantasy world, using traditional techniques steeped in history. She then joins them within elaborate displays connecting furniture, glass, and found objects. In addition, Briony invents and writes a systematic taxonomy for her creatures.

While still at school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Briony Morrow-Cribbs came across the idea of "Cabinets of Curiosity." This was a 16th and 17th century notion where philanthropists gathered and displayed collections of creatures and artifacts from around the world. This concept enabled her to bring together her fine etching and aquatint skills with her small porcelain sculptures.

Briony is represented by Davidson Galleries in Seattle, Washington, and Lucia Douglas Gallery in Bellingham, Washington.
