Micheal Murphy





Micheal Murphy creates incredible Multi-layered sculptures. As we have learned this semester in painting 101, Micheal Murphy uses the technique of the cut-out filter and applies this technique to sculpture rather than painting. He uses wood panels/ stainless steel cut and usually hung by wire. Each cut out is layered in a way that creates a portrait when viewed from a specific angle. I have grown quite fond of the cut-out filter, and Micheal Murphy takes this technique to a whole new application. Upon first glance I thought that his pieces were simply painted, however upon further examination they are obviously layered sculptures.
