Megan Murphy “Forbid,” 2006. Video stills, oil paint and graphite on acrylic, 16 1/4″ x 24″.
The year is getting away from us. Time to tie up loose ones, polish things off, and reset the machinery. Also, in the next few days before The End, go to PDX Contemporary Art (925 NW Flanders) and sink eyes-first into the deep surfaces of work by Megan Murphy wherein watery video stills layer with the thinnest layers of oil paint and obscured text. Deadly lovely.
