In a recent Huffington Post interview, New York artist Ethan Murrow declared, The things I keep returning to are failure and obsession. It seems to me that there is a fragile line between reckless obsession and brilliant success. My work resides in this area, applauding ridiculous pursuits and cringing at ill-fated experimentation. His new series of large graphite drawings, called Will Be Snaring Meteorites, celebrates just such a fanciful, ridiculous quest. His wife, Vita Weinstein-Murrow, is the model and protagonist of this whimsical adventure, which has her employing ropes, pulleys, and other homebuilt contraptions to capture what may only be wiffle balls and other round plastic toys. We cant all afford to go into space to find meteorites, and Murrows backyard expeditions are a lot more fun. BRIAN MILLER
