Layout sketches
Here is a photo of Pat's concept sketches for one of the murals, just so you get an idea of how all these wood panels will be pieced together. The images are taken from photographs, sketches and drawings from our workshops (you may have been at one!)
The order of the images is not set in stone as we are constantly rearranging and adding images as we go along.

The Process
It's been awhile-we've been hiding out working away at the many phases of mural construction.
We thought you want want to take a peek at what we've been up to.
Here is a shot of Pats plans for the overall layout of the mural which is made of up various sized wood panels. The panels will have some photos and illustrations drawn by you on them-this part you will get to see in the next post...
Here is a photo of the medium sized wood panels that some of the images will be painted onto. The process involves cutting the wood, then varnishing, then sanding, then painting, THEN varnishing again!
More to come soon!

Process of Here & There
The Bing Crosby story is pivotal to the construction of the original Sunset Memorial Community Centre. Commuity members will come to know how the first president of the Sunset Association, Stan Thomas, called Bing's agent to request a concert from this popular singer to raise the seed money for the construction. Bing obliged and raised $36, 000.00 from one concert at the Vancouver Forum. The tickets sold for $1.00 per person!

Process of Here & There
This images is derived from a photo taken during one of the community workshops. South Asian women were asked to bring significant 'cultural objects' that they brought with them when they immigrated to Canada and to tell us why. The hands are undoing a containor of KHOL which the senior, as a young woman, applied around her eyes as a beauty application and cultural tradition.

Pat is in the studio
This panel depicts a historical tram ticket that travelled on Fraser street.
Here the images tells the story of exchange: in the early 1900's fishermen would exchange fish caught in the Fraser River for fresh vegetable raised on the sunny slopes in South Vancouver.
In early September, Pat entered the studio at the Moberly Arts & Cultural centre with the community art work created and collected over the past 5 months. She is transposing the work onto birch plywood through projection and paint. These panels will be part of the final artwork at the Sunset Community Centre, Sunset Rink and The Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre

Pat & Zee meet with the Punjabi Womens group
Last Wednesday we hosted a workshop with a lovely group of women. We documented some of the items that were brought in and began experimenting with tracing designs, then enlarging them through an overhead projector. From this experimentation we hope to draw some ideas and inspiration from the beautiful objects, designs and stories for the final product of Here & There. Check it out!
