POMO Museum was looking to create a mural that both engaged the public and represented the history and present of Port Moody. I created a design that the public could participate in painting, paint-by-numbers style. It needed to be painted on multiple panels that could be transported for painting and later attached to the wall. Inspired by the modular panels, my design became a patchwork tapestry, each block representing a different element of Port Moody’s heritage and present. Some items featured in the mural you can find in the museum, like the Chisholm radio. Once I had primed the wooden panels and drawn on the outlines, members of the public got to paint it at Car Free Day, and continued to drop by and paint over the course of the following weeks. I came back to the museum afterwards to touch up the paint and outlines and apply a sealant.
