"This mural was painted in Missoula, MT in 2020. It is one of four murals painted for The Mural Alley Project
This project was created with the intention of facilitating community connection and amplifying voices of individuals in Missoula.
I love public art projects which invite public participation, especially when collaborators can tangibly see their individual contributions in the final product. Along this vein of thought, I wanted to use this mural as an opportunity for people to safely connect during the pandemic.
I began the process by organizing a participation call, where I invited community members to send me photos of their hands, some words that they would like to share about themselves, and their favorite color."
