MULBERRY STREET PARKING GARAGE MURAL PROJECT: "LOOKS LIKE FRANCE / FEELS LIKE MACON"

by kimartist

Digital mockup for 40'x40' space

Credit goes to Bryan Beck who made the schematics for me (bottom two pics).

I didn't get the project, but I was particularly pleased with this one (I submitted 3 designs) & since I probably won't ever get to show it anywhere else...

I was inspired by someone who said Macon's sunflower fields remind them of France...

Combine that with the French name & Old World architecture & why not?

I am reading Diné: A History of the Navajos by Peter Iverson [2002, University of New Mexico Press], and came across this astonishing photo of Canyon de Chelly by Ansel Adams.  Adams was commissioned by the Interior Department, under the direction of Franklin Roosevelt’s Interior Secretary, Harold Ickes, to shoot photos for a mural project for the department’s corridor’s. Adams described the large format prints envisioned for the project as “enlargements with a vengeance.” Unfortunately, the 1941-1942 Mural Project was halted by World War II, and not installed as planned. The photos were finally displayed at Interior in 2010. You can view other Adams photos from the series here. 

This image is adapted from a digital version of the photo from the National Archives.

Got my angels on the street thanks to the Sullivant Bright Project :)

[Image ID: A high-contrast image of a vinyl wrapped utility box. Cartoon angels in pastel rainbow tessellate around a neon orange background. One angel resembles a house fly, the other a splitting cell, and the last an eye grasped by hands. Additional images show the installation in a grassy neighborhood at sunset at different angles./.
