Through a haptic, and at times obsessive notion of making I employ reclamation, remembering, erasing and recording to morph personal histories into re-imagined narratives. Using art and craft practices that are both self-taught and inherited, corporeally and through the detritus of my matrilineal line, I blend the boundaries of painting, textiles, sculpture and installation. My multi-disciplinary practice questions how familial material histories (histories that carry formal, haptic, personal, feminist, and political logics) can be folded into an autobiographical story-telling practice. I am an emerging American-Australian artist currently living and working on Gurangai and Gadigal Land. I recently graduated from UNSW Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours (2024) and have a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Fashion Design) from Columbia College Chicago (2012). Since Immigrating to Australia in 2020 I have consistently exhibited throughout the country, including at UNSW Galleries, Sydenham International, AIRspace Projects, AD Space and DrawSpace. Most recently I was a finalist (highly commended) at the Jenny Birt Painting Prize (2023) and am currently a studio resident at the City of Sydney Creative Studios, Bathurst Street. https://www.abbymurray.art/home daily 1.0 2023-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/413fbec8-f3e2-4498-9bfa-6c65bfc37522/IMG_0346.jpeg https://www.abbymurray.art/583544494043 daily 0.75 2024-09-23 https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-23 https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1/the-threads-that-bind-us monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/a6c6998e-0bb3-4e8c-9ecd-17bfceed4233/28D719BC-FB77-4860-B538-6BC6E1379A63.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/11a2e1b6-1e5a-4bb0-ab5e-776a8072e781/IMG_1613.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/99f0c515-631c-43b2-84e3-4437b39e4799/IMG_1632.jpeg https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1/how-do-our-ancestors-witness monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/1bced384-0fcb-40af-80ac-d0a0f1d706cf/how+do+our+ancestors+witness+detail+instalation+.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/f5249a7e-e457-4476-8942-ca7326454989/Airspace+Projects+_+Photo+curtesy+of+Airspace+Projects.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/84298263-c352-4de8-9ef7-809b6e8dcc32/pilar_close+UP_airspace.jpg https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1/history-doesnt-repeat-it-rhymes monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/bb6e6ac1-0189-45d7-a537-1251500e56b0/History_install_shot+-abby.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/801211f0-242e-4ef2-b578-03a42e12345b/IMG_7406.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/eb1d55f6-e3f0-4e62-9886-5c787484a96b/Murray_Abby_Home+Assembalage_2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/905a898c-66e1-4fc6-a60c-7c72ab854990/IMG_7404.jpeg https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1/make-unmake-repeat monthly 0.5 2024-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/1643684f-b1a3-43fa-bf2f-7edf0ef23379/IMG_7731.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/1061590e-ead5-4c47-b46d-780153c930e9/Murray_Abby_Ininity+2.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/30acb87f-e725-44df-8f4e-65fca5a78cdd/IMG_7742.jpeg https://www.abbymurray.art/work-1/project-one-f5w4d-chr9r monthly 0.5 2023-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/d3073346-8c0c-493b-8f9d-5702ca1ab3ea/B4769C8C-56C2-4059-A737-3F05B475E1F4_1_100_o.jpeg Work - Disrupt the Broken Mirror of Stories Never Told 21 Windows to Witness, 2023, Collected and Found Textiles, Salvaged Canvas, Oil, Acrylic, Thread, Found Beads, Found Metal Wire, Found Rope, Found Timber, Found Brick 420x220x15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/7ca1ecbe-2496-4217-9a17-989fb6013aba/DFADB665-4B7A-4EFA-A7E7-8BE8C7966B83_1_100_o.jpeg Work - Disrupt the Broken Mirror of Stories Never Told Installation View, The Annual, UNSW Galleries, 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/bfc0f35f-a473-4591-95a3-0c69d165a672/50B42F7E-434A-40B1-BB65-C4124EFD5A75_1_201_a.jpeg Work - Disrupt the Broken Mirror of Stories Never Told Installation detail, 2023, Collected and Found Textiles, Salvaged Canvas, Oil, Acrylic, Thread, Found Beads, Found Metal Wire, Found Rope, Found Timber, Found Brick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/13c01e94-0977-428e-a48a-50c025df81a3/616B1FE7-15DF-4A08-B7FA-27A9995CCE78_1_100_o.jpeg Work - Disrupt the Broken Mirror of Stories Never Told The Rocking Chair, 2023, Salvaged Canvas, Found and Collected Textiles, Thread, Found Beads, Found Copper, Found Metal Wire, Acrylic, Oil, and Marker 50x80x55 cm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619cbcd4d329ce19ab4e2ba5/4f7f8cf6-74ab-45bc-91cf-c207ad895ccb/F524FE01-1E4D-440D-B935-30FC7E5ECDF9_1_201_a.jpeg Work - Disrupt the Broken Mirror of Stories Never Told Installation View, The Annual, UNSW Galleries, 2023
