Process

I always like starting with a color inspiration. My friend, Cathy Rivers of Rivers Colorworks and Design, an architectural color consultant, created a lovely color palette that I used as a starting place. I took many photographs around town, purchased royalty-free photos, then used my special set of filters to artify and visually unite the images and then assembled them into the twelve collages. I had to design around the varying surfaces of the 28 foot wall.
Originally they were printed in 2015 on vinyl banner material. We reprinted this year on aluminum composite outdoor sign panels.
