"THE WALL": MY CANVAS.
This is the "WALL" where the Five children, seven geese, 32 oranges, one racoon and eight sunflowers will be mounted.
Day five of mounting and a better prospective on the wall and its environs.
Day 9, and we are finished. A thirteen by nine foot piece of plexiglass will be perminantly mounted to protect the ceramic tile.
The tiles form patterns, colors and shapes, and the process is a little bit like a puzzle when creating, forming and mounting are attempted.
This is one of the five children depicted in the mural. I wanted to express joy and freedom to be. In this image, grouting is taking place as we fill the gaps.
The first child I made. the tile has been mounted with cerment on the backer board which is mounted to the wall with screws and a polyblend cement.
This is the real deal, finished after eleven months.
Tiles ready for packing in bubble wrap.
