As a dual national, Murray creates works about identity, borders, and the relationships that we develop in our lives, both as individuals and citizens, to these important factors. She seeks to understand identity as a global citizen. Her work addresses the outside world through a world within, a place of introspection and depth. She is a visual poet, crafting video and photography to work along with her voice and personal writing, enriching the visual experience through her poetry. Murray is also the curator and creator of Cloud Conversations, a collective of artists of different disciplines from around the world who are working with current global issues and who she connects together through exhibitions and conversations via the cloud and in person. www.cloudconversations.weebly.com
