James Murphy

Visual Art - Video - Print

Return your attention to the everyday with a study of the mundane. The lens and natural movement combine to highlight the quotidian rituals that form the base of our aspirations.

Experience video meditations of simple human movement against static objects, rendered in monochrome to bring your attention back to the everyday that has been overlooked.
