Production Technology
This project was created as a digital illustration and sent to a printing agency for print and installation. The windows of this wonderful Cork Opera House building were measured and each section of the image was printed to the specification of the building. The medium is vinyl and each section was installed on the same day.
Design Challenge
The greatest challenge was the scale of the image. This artwork was the first large scale illustration by this artwork. Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building. The largest challenge was to ensure the artwork didn't look like an event or performance that was happening at Cork Opera House so as not to confuse their patrons.
Project Duration
This project was installed at Cork Opera House, Cork city, Ireland and ran from September to November 2022.
Operation Flow

Research
