Back Hall & Stairwell (Space Number 28)

This space was selected by Favette and Wolff, LLC to showcase the classic challenge of transitioning the design of one floor to another. Such a space is an excellent use of the Muralist's craft. The work must be calibrated as it moves from one area to another - something that would be impossible with wallpaper, or a too rigid design. Murals and wall treatments harmonize the area they occupy, but if the space encompasses more than one 'feel' it is the job of the artist to help it flow.

The graphic floral design shown here is accomplished with a tight palette to maintain a modernist feel. The oversized scale also keeps the work iconic. On the first floor,simple stripes become stems and leaves. As we ascend the staircase, we climb above the dandelions to the open air, where the seeds freely drift in the breeze.
