In an initiative to discourage graffiti and promote the use of urban alleyways, the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District selected local artists to create artwork for alleyway doors. The artwork, to be printed on a stick-on vinyl material, will cover the full length of the several specially selected doors in alleyways downtown. When asked to partake in the project, I wanted to draw on the richly coloured patterns found on traditional Chinese silk - I believed its bright, illustrative quality would work to liven up the typically dark space. The resulting design was a unique pattern using a more contemporary style. The illustration is to be installed before the end of 2018.
