Mural Description
(click to listen to the description)
This mural is in large part an homage to the Seattle Grunge music scene of the 90’s, with its multiple references to bands and publications from that era.
Alex used an augmented reality headset to sketch her initial vision on the wall. This has become an increasingly more common method for muralists to upscale their artwork. Not working as efficiently as she’d have liked, Alex opted to sketch out the rest of her base design at nightfall via projector.
