Murray paints and draws cups and saucers, tables and chairs, paints and brushes: objects of her surroundings, images of her domesticity, all literal evidence of her connection to a female world.
As Murray has built larger and more complicated shaped canvases, on and into which she devises illusion and deconstructs objects, the tension between inner and outer worlds extends beyond Murray, into the viewer's world: "the viewer is required to reconcile physical and visual forms with narrative."20 The result is ceaseless motion.
ElizabethMurray: Paintings and Drawings (New York: Harry N Abrams, Inc. in association with the Dallas Museum of Art and the MIT Committee on the Visual Arts, 1987), 8, reflects that Murray's art is "subject to various internal and external pressures." Storr, on page 217, discusses "inward pulling and outward pressing forces" of Murray's work.
