Art Minson Mural

Workers play with gesso on a work table. Each piece of polytab fabric needs to be coated with gesso so that it becomes less absorbent. The Art Minson mural has 55 four foot square panels of polytab.

Jake Hochschwender, Sander Kolodziej and Mary Stalter trace a segment of the mural design onto polytab. The mural was divided into 55 segments using Adobe Illustrator then projected onto the polytab fabric so that it can be traced to scale.
