“Discover the Unexpected” is a site specific art installation created for The SCAD Alumni Atelier at SCAD Lacoste, France. In my work as a public artist and muralist, my art often allows people to make unexpected discoveries in their everyday commutes, by incorporating bold color onto walls in cities. For this project, I wanted to channel the same energy. However, since Lacoste is a historic village with protected architecture, it made it difficult to consider painting a mural. Where and how would it be feasible to create public artwork in such a place? This led to thinking about viable alternatives for a material that could function as a canvas.
I decided upon the idea of using plywood to make giant illustrated cut-outs that would interact with the existing architecture in the village.
