Envisioning exercise

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.
