David Murphy is a Melbourne/Naarm based visual artist and designer. For the past 30 years, he has been creating site-specific public art, ephemeral installations and performances, studio-based works, theatre design, architectural projects, community art, and numerous cross-art-form collaborations for local councils, and arts organizations, private collectors and festivals. He takes great pride in his many successful collaborations with a wide range of renowned arts practitioners from Melbourne and beyond. 

Motivated by creating artworks that evoke a sense of wonder and joy, David is inspired by science and the natural world and is drawn to cross-art-form collaborations to tell stories about place, community, and culture. His sources of inspiration and his art practice are wide-ranging and eclectic, although often connected by his passion for exploring the area where art, maths, and science intersect. He is passionate about creating awareness, new ideas, and a better outlook for our climate and environment through his art practice.
