How we are bringing extea experiences and history to the project:

THE MURAL PAINTING
The majority of the mural is a modern landscape painting depicting the geography of the park - as if there were no buildings or people. The Ohio River runs through all scenes, symbolic of the tie that unites all Louisvillians.
​

QR codes around the mural link to sites that give history on lost communities from the area:
  • Indigenous Sites 
  • Corn Island
  • ​Portland
  • Shippingport Island
  • Old Walnut Street Business District 
  • with nods to other special places.
 in addition
  • ​Under the gate is below the surface: under the river and archaeological layers
  • AR is added to enhance the experience.
  • A relief map installed on site for vision impaired park goers. 
  • Crank style audio box installed with oral histories placed around the mural area

THE 2 INFORMATION WALLS
  • The icons of flora and fauna from the mural are painted on the left wall as a seek and find for park visitors
  • On the right wall are the history of flooding, the 1937 flood and the building of flood wall system.
  • QR codes link to sites focused on the history

 Frankfort Ave Mural  

This project, a reinterpretation in paint of a digital mixed media piece from my series of work: #KentuckyTheBeautiful. 
The opportunity to create at this scale was a dream. The pandemic changed my routine, so I capitalized on the large stretch of time needed to hand paint a 500 square foot mural. 
No stencil, no projection, no spray. The conditions called for hand drawing and painting.

Peace - Bardstown Road Mural

Picture
Painted  in a similar manner, this was started at the end of pandemic shut down. Many of us felt timid to reemerge.This street scene denotes a feeling of being able to gather without worry, something we all deserve to experience.
