Born and raised in Portland, ME and working in Chicago, IL, Samuel Murphy is an emerging artist and filmmaker. Working primarily with digital, celluloid, and animation based film, as well as guerilla and multi-monitor based installations, my research dwells in conceptual combinations of absurdism and kitchen sink realism. Though specified historical and cultural investigation, I heavily examine cross contamination of mass media and it’s influence in the realms of film, television, music, art, politics, and religion. Utilizing my blunt honesty and moral values to push the emotional quality of moving image and audio in order to establish environments that balance abstract visuals and loose narrative storytelling in an attempt to attack, destroy, and rebuild myself as an artist.
