      Muralist

      This mural was painted for the stairway going down to the children's section. At the top of the stairs, I painted a boy and a girl blowing bubbles. On the wall descending the stairs I painted four large bubbles, inside of which were different illustrated scenes from children's books. The first bubble contains the scene from "James and the Giant Peach" (by: Roald Dahl) when James and his insect friends have roped themselves a flock of seagulls to escape the sharks eating their vessel, and they've encountered cloud men in the sky. The second bubble contains an illustration from "Ship of Dreams" (by: Dean Morrissey). The third bubble contains an illustration from "Miss Rumphius" (by: Barbara Cooney) in which the protagonist is visiting a 'tropical island' and is given a motehr-of-pearl shell from the 'Bapa Raja'. Finally, fourth bubble contains an illustration from a story adapted from a Ukrainian folk tale, "The Mitten" (by: Jan Brett), where the main character, Nikki, is sliding down a hill in the snow, under which a bear lives. By this point we've reached the wall adjacent to the wall on which the bubbles have been painted, which contains a large scene from "Jumanji" (by: Chris Van Allsburg) in which the main characters, Judy and Peter, are attempting to finish the game in the midst of a monsoon as well as the erratic presence of monkeys at their game table. At this point, the concept of the mural is that the bubble has popped, and the story has become real, similar to the way in which the game of Jumanji has become real after the main characters have started playing it. In completion of the mural, I painted a background of colorful swirls. Voir moins
