Murmur is a twined lomandra plant string work that was exhibited in <ABSTRACTIONS> that  consists of a series of tiny twined plant strings that emerged  from the corner wall opposite to the work Stronghold. Murmur is an almost musical response to space and is less about containment and holding fast and firm to components of culture than referring to the inherent joy of self expression. Little stringlets emerge from holes in the corner wall to advance in a pattern and then dissipate further along the wall. This work is a much more personal self-expression of making instinctively and installing the work intuitively rather than a tightly planned endeavour.
