Michael Murphy @mmurphycreates.bsky.social · 27/09/2026“In dreams and future memories” Exploring more semi representational& organic form in my work. The process of being part of the world but not “of the world” is a dichotomy that most people experience. A half remembered dream, cultural myths, a memory. #visualartist #creativity 021
Michael Murphy @mmurphycreates.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I will be exhibiting in @hoctorsmyth offices from Friday 25th-28th of October from 1pm daily. Opening on Friday night from 6.30.

A story you have on some level believed – that the world is fraught with danger – can be countered by a different story. Yes, the world is fraught with danger, but not everywhere, and not always, not here in this place and not now in this moment. You are safe." -Susanna Clarketheguardian.comSusanna Clarke: ‘I had been ill for 11 years. I felt like I was about to fall off the world’One hundred years after Virginia Woolf explored the limitations of language in On Being Ill, the Piranesi author reflects on the power of storytelling to shape our experience of sickness 041
Michael Murphy @mmurphycreates.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Moving from dot to primitive use of line - similar to ancient symbol/mapmaking. The introduction of these textures have informed some movement in the work (hopefully) Music - delighted to hear O,Kenayda ‘s debut album, I was fortunate to add some bass. 020
Reposted by Michael MurphyTony Fitz @tonyfitz.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Hot take: it's daft to release music in Dolby Atmos format. If the playback system doesn't support Atmos, your music can end up barely audible unless volume is cranked to what becomes ear-bleeding levels when the next non-Atmos track comes on. You're just asking for listeners to skip your tracks. 021
