Given unlimited resources the
single art project I would embark on is I would create a mural. This mural
would be located in downtown Dallas and would be for the most part a replica of
a painting I have already done. This painting is titled Jackie and is an abstraction of the iconic image of Jacqueline
Kennedy crawling on the 1961 Lincoln.
The figure in the mural will be
life size. The mural will not just be painted but will have a 3-D aspect to it.
The 3-D elements will be made out of wood. The wood will be distressed so the
fading and natural weathering of the piece over time will only ad to it.
This piece will not only ad to the
remembrance of the historical event of the John F. Kennedy assassination but
will also take part in the conversation of current gun affairs in Texas. The
image is abstracted to represent the disorientation of what it was like during
the actual event. The 3-D aspect
of the piece will suggest to the viewer the image is breaking into their world
and is a reminder of current events.
