Overview

Acrylic and Charcoal
8’x 35′
Site specific mural drawing for a dance studio
Mission District, San Francisco
2015

This work shows an organic image of strands of hair wrapping the interior wall of this live/work space and playfully engaging with the architecture.

I used hair as a symbol of femininity to emphasize the contrast of its soft and organic texture with the solod, masculine structure of the building. I engaged the visitor by transforming an otherwise overlooked staircase into an incongruous, yet contemplative environment.

Goals

Owners of the Dance Studio and live space wanted to create a flow and a direction from the entrance of the building to the upstairs living space.
