In 1982 the artist Nancy Burson made the seminal post-media
work Three Major Races.
The process she used to obtain this haunting
face - morphing - is now commonplace, played out most visibly in
popular culture, but also across language itself.
In 2002 to morph is a global verb and the
morph is accepted as a global subject, but in 1982 the
word
'morph' was as alien as the subject of Burson's portrait.
