Carole Murphy Studio

Beginning as a figurative sculptor, my work evolved into the organic forms that they are now. In the process, the media I used also moved from bronze, to glass, ending with the sensuous cement I now work with. By introducing aerated cement, a building material, into the art world as a serious medium and through creating original patina formulas, my art has morphed into a more elemental form. For me, it holds more clearly the essence of things as I play with between the lines of nature and the feminine.

Acting as a conduit sculpting enables me to travel into uncharted territory. I am within the process of the sculpture rather than the process of the sculpture being within me. Full enclosure and unadulterated expression is granted so there is no need for figuring out why. In Sculpting I have found a perfectly imperfect form of total expression. The art as it exists, is reason enough for it to be. Sculpting is my voice, it aligns me with my path and brings me home.

Teaching comes in as a close second to sculpting. In awakening the incredible art of my students, my creative juices are also ignited. What a powerful, wonderful thing to be a part of.
