  • Water is Life

    The project, an initiative inspired by Murdoch and acclaimed artist and activist Christi Belcourt, was designed to help the two artists get their message out to the public. That message, noted Murdoch “is simply to create awareness that water is important to us all and as such we are encouraging every Canadian to stand up and do something positive for the environment. If we can find the strength and resolve to work together for the betterment of the planet, then we have taken a step forward in helping to ensure that humankind will be able to survive well into the future. You cannot overstate the importance of a healthy environment and that begins by protecting our water. To emphasize that importance, we became involved in creating two murals on the same weekend, one in Edmonton and the other in Ottawa.

  • Craft Tats

    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).

  • Trinity Community Mural

    This large community mural is a tribute to friendship and community. It is a project of the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Old Strathcona of Edmonton at 10014 – 81 Avenue. The 24-meter-wide mural is composed of nearly 1000 individually painted tiles which were painted by about 400 people of all ages, all walks of life, church members and community members.

  • Ice on Whyte Mural Mosaic

    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!
