From the Proposal

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.
