Murphy’s piece is then both historical and counter historical.

It has endurance and frailty built into its structure—its story is not one of event but of duration and of the duration of difference in the narration of human genetic material, material structures, built space, and urban design and development.

In many ways, it is about the difficult history of sexuality that Hemings’s presence brings up—enervating, dangerous, ravishing, ephemeral but also undeniably material.

"What differentiates Murphy's views on the complexity of human thought and behavior from those of his Postmodern contemporaries, such as Salle or Borofsky, is the thematic integrity of his works."

Dr. Bradford R. Collins
Todd Murphy's Heroic Subjectivism
McKissick Museum Catalog, Columbia, SC, January 13, 1991
I read a great quote by Goethe. I’m going to misquote him but it goes something like this, “anyone who can’t synthesize three thousand years of civilization is living hand to mouth.”

TODD MURPHY and GOETHE
I am not afraid to reference antiquity or old masters.

Todd Murphy
When I say there is nothing new I mean we have been struggling with the nature of God for as long as we've been able to conceive that idea.

TODD MURPHY
We've been trying to come to terms with the division of the soul and this apparatus, the body.
