The book encompasses Murray's 2021 solo exhibition with us at Everard Read London. 

Childlike in their expression, Murray’s rabbits, monkeys, and birds in this series have a shared sense of vulnerability and fragility about them, not unlike the netsuke that inspired them. The book documents the work that was made during the uncertainty and strange suspension of time that the artist experienced due to the pandemic, its mutations, and its cycle of lockdowns. These symbolic portraits may be of the artist and his family with whom he has shared months of confinement. But they represent all of us, looking skywards for answers and certainty.
