BOB MORGAN

Artist and activist Robert Morgan was born in Taylor County in 1950. The Pagan Babies collection, a name adopted by Morgan and his band of guerrilla-style street artists, was a natural moniker for this compilation photographed by John Denny Ashley, as it draws inspiration from art-house movies, Greek mythology, Ovid, Shakespeare, the decadence of Weimar Berlin, punk rock, the Pre-Raphaelites, David Bowie, and—above all—the expressive and ingenious realm of queer Kentucky.
