From transforming blighted street corners to creating surprising, contemplative and beautiful public spaces, "Murez’ work relates seamlessly, if not unexpectedly, to its community and site, as it inspires sensory experiences and provokes conceptual investigations."
Both abstract and figurative, Murez’ work is often narrative: sculptural installations that set the stage and invite viewers to be transported into the story. Aesthetics and unexpected surprises draw viewers in, they then enjoy etherial sensations and explore conceptual beliefs.
Murez works both two and three dimensionally, in a wide range of mediums including bronze, concrete, glass, stone, resin, mosaic, steel, light, paint, earth and digital media. The scale of her work is from architectural to intimate and often draws upon the cultural history of individuals and communities.
In 2001, Murez created Venice Public Art to re-invigorate and build community in her hometown, Venice, CA. She adds unexpected artistic interactions of its fascinating origins to street corners throughout the neighborhood. There are now a dozen sculptural installations. They range from earthworks to anamorphic street painting to a no-tech peep hole box and lifesize topiaries that recreate a curious scene: when live camels strolled the streets of Venice of America.
In 2023, Murez unveiled her newest hand carved, interactive, kinetic, Venice themed sculpture that you can ride: www.VeniceFlyingCarousel.com
