Murphy’s ceramic vessels are created swiftly and directly on a slow-spinning potter’s wheel. He usually works in series, developing one body of work at a time, making gestural vessels that infuse his presence into the finished form. This results in families of pots that are inevitably related, yet each piece stands as a one-of-a-kind vessel. After the pieces are fashioned, most are wood fired, without applied glazes, to stoneware temperatures, with the colors and textures resulting from the interaction of wood, fire, and clay. Murphy incorporates contemporary as well as ancient aesthetics, and strives to create objects that will withstand the test of time.
