Nicely done by guest writer Daniel Forrest Hoffman. Read the full review here.
The materiality of the work is striking. In Learning From Harbison Avenue her drawing embraces the fibrous cotton paper to create beautiful dark velvet stretches of sky coupled with meticulous architectural detail. It is easy to be seduced by the beauty of the images and skill of the artist’s hand. Murray uses this to persuade the viewer to find beauty in such ordinary settings as a Northeast Philadelphia block of rowhomes, and in fact they are quite beautiful.Back to news
