'Murmurs' is a solo presentation of new works by Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Imogen Taylor. Teasing out the push and pull of abstraction and figuration, Taylor conjures enduring forms as part of a sensual approach to painting.

To hear about Murmurs, Frances caught up with Imogen on Various Artists.
