Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet, 2022
Duotone lacquer on cast resin, 600 × 600 × 50mm

A concentric field of ridges spirals inward toward a single vanishing point, the surface shifting from deep violet to cool blue as the light moves across it. Cast in resin and finished in a duotone lacquer, Ultraviolet uses the mathematics of the ripple — the same rhythmic, rule-based patterning found throughout the Procession series — to suggest a moment of natural motion held still. Viewed from different angles, the piece appears to pulse, echoing Murray’s ongoing exploration of algorithmic form and the fluid dynamics of water and light.
