Artist Statement
​butch Murphy
​Metal Sculptor

I am an abstract metal sculptor combining new and found steel to produce representational forms.  I create to instill spectator confusion requiring responsive participation and a sustained impression asking, ”what is his message?”  I don’t see myself being trapped by a leitmotiv, however, I am definitely captured by geometry and the Cubism movement.  I'm taken by the layering three dimensional effect seen  in paintings by Braque and best describes what Donald Baechler defined, and I borrowed, as editing. For now, each production is a study....never expecting perfection, as that would eliminate the search,* and for me, the end.

*Poet: Ancel Neuberger
