Gwynn Murrill

Ann Arbor, MI (American, b. 1942)

“My interest lies in the fact that I use the subject as a means to create a form that is abstract and figurative at the same time. It is a challenge to try and take the form that nature makes so well and to derive my own interpretation of it. 

I spend many hours perfecting a piece with the goal to utilize all of the negative space surrounding the form as a vehicle for the abstract part of the sculpture.  The negative space is as important to my sculpture as the positive space, evoking somewhat of a Yin and Yang relationship.

Many of the animals I work with are also a part of our life here in the American west, and I truly enjoy expressing my appreciation of their existence.”
