Resonance 5 Artist feature: Ally Morgan's "Sweet Summers"

The past does not sit quietly at the A. R. Mitchell Museum—it hums.

In Resonance 5, that hum becomes a conversation. Drawn from the museum’s archive, A.R. Mitchell’s photographs, once documents of a specific time, place, and eye, are placed into the hands of over 40 contemporary artists. Each pairing is an invitation, not an instruction. What follows is not replication, but response.

Resonance 5 asks viewers to look twice. First at Mitchell’s photographs, then at what they have become in the hands of another. In that space between image and interpretation, something subtle emerges: a recognition that art is not fixed, but continually reimagined. That even an archive, often thought of as static, can be a site of generative energy.

Here, creativity rules the day, but it does so in conversation with history. And in that exchange, both are transformed.

Experience these bygone times as seen through a modern lens - on display through December 30th, attendance is always free.

“Steady” 16”x20” Colored pencil on paper, created for Resonance V at @armitchellmuseum 2026. Reference photo was taken by A.R. Mitchell himself.

What an honor it is to have this be my first museum show as an artist. I sincerely couldn’t have done it without Mitch, I feel that I know him like the back of my hand, and his presence in my life gave me the confidence and will power to commit to this. How lucky I am to be part of this place in all my creative endeavors.

The community that surrounds me makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thank you.

All artwork is for sale through the A.R. Mitchell Museum website, and the digital catalog I created for this show can be found at the link in my bio. I think I’m going to do prints of this piece so keep your eyes peeled if you’re interested!
