Illusion - 2022

Woman Power - 2022

Multidirectional illusion sculpture composed of 1300 stainless steel spheres.

Polina - 2022

Polina is a portrait of a six year old Ukrainian friend of the artist’s family. At the onset of the Russian Ukrainian conflict, Polina and her parents were forced to flee Ukraine leaving their home, school, and careers behind. This image of her was captured shortly after she and her family arrived in Germany in March 2022. This work is about movement, migration and the way in which criminal political parties and their wars affect innocent families.

NO WAR - 2022

Multidirectional illusion sculpture composed of several hundred children’s toys and 3D printed parts. It is meant to serve as a protest to all war. The use of the toys is intended to draw attention to the way they are used to indoctrinate and propagandize children and normalize war.

The Immigrant - A tribute to immigrants. 2019

3D halftone sculpture. When you view the 2,300 wood balls from forty feet away you see an image of Murphy’s wife Natasha. The work calls attention to the positive contributions immigrants make to our communities. Natasha is an immigrant and it's with her help that this piece was made possible. This tribute is intended to introduce positivity into a negative and overly politicized conversation.
