Valley Wall
I have been intrigued with the city built along the river and its valley. The potential for a healthy city is, in every respect, as limitless as the park’s nature to grow in harmony with the city.

The concept of this mural is a narrative one. The front is inspired by talented craft artists that enrich our city – A display of vibrant art goods. The side is all about the process of making. And the back is my own interpretation of what ornamentation means to me. This mural is also my response to Loo’s essay (Ornament and Crime), and to practice the act of permanent ornamentation. I treated this mural like a tattoo – bringing bold colours and design to the skin of the building (my own tattoo also makes a vague cameo).

This is the first of a 4 mural project series. These guardian beasts will be painted as landmarks around Edmonton’s Chinatown. This is a message that Chinatown will remain protected from the colonizers. The combination of 4 murals in different parts of Chinatown will be an allegory of its unity that guarantees its existence and longevity.
In our mythology, the night sky is divided into 4 quadrants of constellations. These are represented by the White Tiger (West, Metal, Autumn, Courage), Azure Dragon (East, Wood, Spring, Fortune), Black Tortoise (North, Water, Winter, Longevity), Vermillion Phoenix (South, Fire, Summer, Wisdom). They protect important or sacred grounds, such palaces and tombs. In this project’s case, it will be guarding Chinatown.
This mural faces the west direction, having this guardian white tiger watch over west of Chinatown. The other 3 will be painted accordingly to the direction, which the respective wall faces.

Communities in each province and territory across Canada will create sections of the overall mural that will connect Canada through art. Every participating city or town will create a section of the mural made up of 400-750 individual tiles that symbolizes their community.
Each of these Community Mural sections will stand alone as a mural for that particular community. Then, each of these sections of the mural will be become one of the many storybook pages within the overall mural to form the ultimate visual time capsule and create a legacy for a proud nation.
As each painting is part of a community mural, each community mural is part of the Canada Mosaic Mural. Each community mural virtually connects to other community murals resulting in a massive coast to coast uniflied mosaic.
Throughout the Country, this equates to 100,000’s tiles that will comprise an overall image of train cars connecting Canadians from far and wide!
The graphic imagery reflects Peterson’s ongoing themes of human brutality and violence, power and submission, here depicting gigantic figures mounted and on foot, seen close up in a bloody sword battle.
