The Making Of: Eastern Gap

This mural took a long time to design, plan build and install. Here are some images of the process.

I sarted with a photo of water. This was actually taken in Toronto Harbour in an area known as the Eastern Gap which is one of the two enterances to Toronto’s inner harbour. I then abstracte this image into a set of curves based on the light and dark patterns in the water. These shapes were then cut in plywood and laminated together to creat a low relief effect. The piece was made in a series of panels. I created a hanging system so that we cut firs mount a grid of wooden rails on the wall and then hand the work similar to installing kitchen cabinets!
