I just finished the Meanderings Murals for Hotel Zoe! I have help other artist on their murals but this was the first time I created my own with a lot of help from my family and friends! The Meanderings murals are a series of 10 panels designed to bring some levity to the streetscapes of the city during shelter-in-place. Inspired by the photographic still lives making up the Meanderings series, the panels evoke fluid movement and a light, uncomplicated joy. Each panel is different, but all the panels are related: they take the viewer on a meandering path from one panel to the next. The colors depict the seasonal transition from summer to fall, and are inspired by fallen petals and leaves on my street in Bernal Heights (Swatch Series) with the addition of a bright chartreuse color derived from lichen on boulders and trees seen on a recent trip to the Emigrant Wilderness: a fitting metaphor for the resilience of life amid the current challenges we are all facing.
