Tim is exploring scale as a concept.  He has been using woods and metals of all kinds to build sculptures.  By exploring formals aspects of design and materials, he has been able to acquire a better understanding of how viewers interact and examine works of art ranging in scale from the miniature, tangible, and gigantic. 

Tim Morales was born and raised in New Orleans.  He is currently a junior at the Kansas City Art Institute and is majoring in sculpture.  He has a keen interest in the miniature and has been exploring formal aspects of different materials at different scales.  He has interned with two jewelers - Robyn Nichols and Dominique Giordano – studying the technical, conceptual, and business side of jewelry and art making.   He was also a recipient for the 2009 McKeown Grant in the sculpture department at KCAI.   He works on all scales, but plans to focus on small-scale art making.
