This is murpworks - Walk Header 10 B+W 1024 image

23 July 2017

This is murpworks! mu + rp = works.

murpworks is the creative home of artist mu and writer rp. Together, we make up murpworks (as we go along). mu draws, paints, animates & builds, rp photographs, writes & tries to co-ordinate. There are a whole load of influences – many and varied.

The picture says everything we want it to.

There’s animation in the form of a Walk Cycle, there’s anonymity but also a knowingness, it’s nowhere and everywhere, it’s cluttered but there are clear forms, it’s black and white but appears colourful…

The black and white picture was taken in Warminster, South West UK. It’s location was more quixotic, rather than exotic.

Went to Beer in East Devon for the first time, a village on the East Devon coast. The weather gave heavy skies and a fine rain pervaded the day but it was perfect for walking…

The path puts you right in touch with the environment at times…

At The Station

Station image

I spend a lot of time at the station – waiting…

There’s always a lot going on, so a simple, clean image doesn’t represent What I see on a day to day basis. I see trains, cranes, lights and rain and clouds roiling…

Shadow on the Wall

Shadow on the Wall B+W image

Walking on a sunny day, I pass a shadow on the wall. I return, the shadow’s gone. I can return another day but the shadow will have changed. The angle of the sun will have moved, the leaf pattern from the tree will have changed because it will have grown. It will never be the same again. I like that.

Bath Stone Column

Bath Stone Column image

Bath. The City of mellow stone, an air of respectability and people who want to promenade in their finest. The colour of the stone and the buildings it graces, almost makes you want to spend money. Carved columns become the norm in this Palladian playground and you can’t help but photograph them.

I really wanted to render this image in black and white and I’m sure it would have looked good, displaying subtle graduations in tone. However, it would have lost something. It would have lost the warmth. The stone captures the sun and then only slowly lets its warmth ooze back out.
