The Tall Tale of Kane Mayfield.
Quiet Lunch often pushes the notion of staying true to one’s self. But it is a theory that is directly injured by the nega-slogan “easier said than done”.

Orlagh Murphy seems to be perpetually caught in a somewhat terrifying but ethereal daymare. She invokes a sense of precise chaos. She plays with the balance between innocence and malice.
