Artist Statement

The mural is to be painted on the back of a building through a parking lot. To me this location is almost a place that should not be seen. It seems like a place you would have to be looking for to see it, almost as if you would have to be sneaky to see it. For this reason I chose to suggest a series of windows painted on the wall each showing a scene that you would probably have to be sneaky to get a glimpse of. I want the viewer to feel like they stumbled upon they shouldn’t be seeing.
The images will include someone smoking, pot, a couple in some sort of pre or post sensual scene, a child stealing, and a girl singing into a hairbrush. Each image will be in a grey scale, except for one item of importance, which will be colored.
I want the images to raise questions about what goes on when people aren’t looking. Most of the scenes have a dark side to them, meant to almost make the viewer confused or uncomfortable. I think the location will emphasize this feeling because it is fairly isolated location.
