Radically Radiant

“A lot of the things I originally wanted to do, the wall just kinda told me it wanted to do something different. I wanted a simplistic design because of how big I was going. I was struggling with the pipes, wires, I can’t use a scissor lift…all those things weighed into it. Really, life just starts with a sphere in most cases, be it the sun, an egg, an embryo. My first thing was just drawing a circle and then going from there because that is how everything starts in the universe. I love that it is a mystery and kind of unraveling itself and it is telling me what it wants to do as it goes along.

"The texture played into the wall and I wanted it to be simplistic, bold, colorful, fun, inviting, bright, cheery, and happy with a good vibe, but not overly complicated. I’m excited for the process and the whole thing is enjoyable; I like being in the alleyway, having music playing, and people walking by and being startled by the energy (in a good way) and thanking me.”
