Michael Murphy is an architect/graphic artist currently living in London, UK. The folowing images represent a personal study that attempts to concurrently synthesize several realities. The ultimate goal is to create a fresh, contemporary tectonic, while recognizing certain influences of mid-20th century design and cultural zeitgeist. Atomic deserts, hovering metal ships, roadside steel and glass, space age superhighways- all come to mind. These are purely iconic images however, not ingredients for a nostalgic recreation of a particular style. The moods and environments are deliberately ambiguous; it is left to the viewer to decide if they are looking at places of desolation and lonliness or scences of quiet solitude.
