At-Home Project
This project was conceived several years
ago, when my good friend Daphne bought a new house with an enormous
triangular wall that was just begging for a mural. Being the ambitious
little girl I am, I volunteered, but instead of spending weeks hanging
from scaffolding to paint directly on the wall, I decided I'd rather
just build a frame to those custom dimensions. That turned out to be
the hard part; it was difficult enough to measure it, and the frame
ended up going through several incarnations. Finding the right fabric
was another complication. Oddly enough, the painting itself only took
about 4 days, even though the preparations, all told, took a number of
years. Everyone is thrilled to see this finally completed.
