WIP - Orpheum Community Hub Mural

May 27, 2019 Roe LiBretto

The Design

Denise and I show off the final mural design.

Aerial Boom Lift Class

I took a 5 hour online class and 4 hours of hands-on training. I’m so ready for this!

Aligning the Projection

Because Coal is a busy street, we had limited space for projecting and the closer the wall, the smaller the image. So we can only project small segments at a time.

Waiting for Sunset

Denise and I review our plans for the night’s work while we wait for it to be dark enough to project the image.

Transferring the Mural

Denise and project assistant Nick Ross found that tracing the image, projected through the cyclone fence, added a level of complexity to the task.

Mixing Paint

Denise is a color maven, and I learned much by mixing under her direction.

I was blown away when we landed this gig.

Work in Progress: Judgement Day

I felt an inexplicable fear of being in the company of humans … The ceiling in my home seemed lower than usual and the rooms, smaller. I could hear nagging mantras and was sure I could be seen through curtained windows.
