 The Girls with the Crocodile 

 

.

 Lino print 72x50cm, 200cm, 2006-2025 


three framed works from a series, with a current frieze on a pianola roll, This series is from my archives and was made from a sketch of a carving I saw at Angkor Watt, cycling as a fundraiser for Oxfam in 2005, and printed on Lucy Culliton’s press in Kanimbla Valley. 
I could think of them as representing “my coming out” in 1988 when I realised, I was gay, after being married for 12 years with three children, dancing topless at women’s party. 
Ro Murray is a trans-disciplinary artist influenced by her former career as an architect and later attending the National Art School as a mature age student. Since 2018 her practice has focussed on relief printmaking. In the last year her prints on pianola rolls were selected for Canberra Art Biennial, Arte Laguna Prize Venice, the Paper Room at Sydney Contemporary and the Artist Book Award Northern Beaches.
