  • “I’m interested in connection, which is a provocation of the art world in a way.”

    Todd Murphy 2016 Forbes Interview

  • Murphy’s Murmurations series deftly illustrates the metaphorical leap from the everyday object to the visual associations embedded within it. What’s more, in other works in the show, he poetically manifests that tenuous relation between the sign and how it might be physically expressed

  • The exhibition culminates in the final room, which unveils the artist’s latest Murmurations series. Using the dress, a culturally loaded motif, Murphy starts a narrative that touches upon grand themes of nature, technology, and humanity over the past two hundred years. The skirts are clear and shaped like bell jars that encase freestanding sculptures. Murmurations (Regata) is expressed through a large sailboat – a mighty object that humans control and use for travel and discovery, yet puts them at the mercy of the powerful and mysterious sea.
