Finalist (1 of 6), Frisco Heritage Museum, Frisco, TX. Mural celebrating Frisco history. Proposal to shoot images of historic trains in motion or reenacted cattle drives (two topics of historical importance to the area). 3′-6″ x 65′ mural broken into three sections. Digital fiber reinforced laminate. City of Frisco Public Art Program. Fall 2006. Budget: $20,000.
Note: Presentation elevations are conceptual mockups using images found online.
I am proposing a photographic-based mural for the eastern side of the first floor hallway that runs between the north and south lobbies of the Frisco Heritage Museum. This is a 12’ high by 56’ wide wall flanked by 11’ of angled walls on each end. The long segment of wall is broken up by the wooden doors to two bathrooms, the water fountain alcove, and two flush doors to storage and back-office rooms. The mural would overlap these flush doors, as the adjoining rooms would not be accessible to the public; the doors would typically remain closed. The mural wall can be seen from within the museum gift shop, which has windows looking out into this hallway.
I’m proposing digital Fiber Reinforced Laminate for production of the piece; it is a very durable material that can be glued directly to the wall. The mural would span the various sections of wall and overall would be 3’-6” x 65’; it would be composed of thirteen panels of varying widths.

Susan Bowen’s show, Midwest Meanderings, is a rural-themed exhibit of overlapping multiple exposure photographs. Bowen, who lives in Brooklyn, took these pictures primarily on back roads in Iowa and Indiana. She says, “My pictures draw the viewer into a world of unexpected and unclear juxtapositions.” The multiple exposures prove a revelation not only to the viewer but also to the photographer herself, since the overlapping imagery is created while photographing, not in the studio after the fact. The thrill of the unknown is a defining aspect of Bowen’s work. Since 2002, Bowen has had 12 solo/two-person shows and has been in 84 group exhibitions. Midwest Meanderings includes 14 works, sized 1’x3′. Website: www.susanbowenphoto.com.
