For ‘All mountains are moving’ Murnaghan has been working with a collection of small Irish beach pebbles, split and polished by his Great Grandfather early in the last century, a sort of post Darwinian pursuit. This once lost collection has been reassembled and central sections of the stones have been scanned at very high definition. The revelation of their interior imagery acts as a cipher, communicating meaning and manifesting content throughout the gallery spaces. An obsessive, animist position is taken; revealing a tension between what is ‘known’ and what may be believed.

Murnaghan is looking at ideas surrounding pareidolia, a psychological phenomenon involving varying stimulus, wherein the mind perceives patterns in something where none actually exist. Like previous investigations this process explores facets of spiritual, scientific and psychological phenomena, articulating elements that vibrate at the core of belief. Some of the works utilize loaded materials such as prophetic lead (molybdomancy), gold and crematorium ash, in an attempt to consider the essence of certainty, possibility and sublime futility. The works are spread over four rooms and the atrium.There is an intentional fragility within the installations, they float, balance and cast shadows. Nothing is solid, substantial or immovable, like a mountain.
